Serpent (Breed)

The Serpent breed of the Uruk-Hai are the utility combatants of the unit, serving as a bridge between the heavy-hitters of the Hydra breed and the swifter, lighter numbers of the Dire Wolf breed. The Serpent breed often are called upon to serve amongst either of the other two main breeds as the situation demands. One of the primary functions of the Serpent breed is to serve as arms specialists, as those who back up the Hydra breed with polearms or those who perform archery support are assigned to this breed. Those of the Serpent breed generally form the ranks between the Hydra and Dire Wolf breeds in the "Uruk-Hai Block Formation" to add additional weight to the front rank or assist the Dire Wolf breed with clean-up.
