BEORNINGS
The Beorning Faction has few heroes, but they are all quite powerful. They have a small supply of units as well, (not all are shown either) but those are stronge as well.

His Quick Escape can get him out of tight situations, and his Bloodclaw, Venomous Bite, and Drink Health all deal blood damage to a selected enemy.

Background: Bludlurst is one of few remaining vampires in Middle-Earth. This ancient race of Morgoth is now only found within the walls of the cursed fortress Dol Guldur.

Background: Tunlak is the only orc of Dol Guldur that can maintain control of a Black Wolf. Tunlak's wolf is the leader of its pack, which allows Tunlak to maintain control of the other wolves of Dol Guldur. Tunlak often leads raids on the outskirts of Mirkwood forest.
