Fanatics
These are Night Goblins that have drunk a potion made from the "Mad Cap Mushroom". As well as giving them extra strength, it makes them immune to pain and largely unaware of their surroundings. Their only weapon is a heavy metal ball on a chain. Buoyed up on the potion, the fanatics spin round and round; the ball describing a circle of danger around them. Unable to stay put on the spot, they drift across the ground. In battle, the fanatics are pushed out from the regiments where they have been hidden and careen over the battlefield - hopefully into the enemy. The fanatics will keep going until they have been killed - either by the enemy, by colliding with something more solid or accidentally strangling themselves.

Famous quotes containing the word fanatics:
“There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
