History Characters / Warcraft3Units

* StatusBuffDispel: Their Purge spell removes all beneficial spells from a target, immobilizes them for a few seconds, and has the secondary purpose of damaging summoned units.

* WolverineClaws: Their long claws are good for both cutting down enemies and chopping trees.

* MisidentifiedWeapons: The Huntress' glaive doesn't look like what it's insisted to be.

* WolverineClaws: In their bear form, they gain a set of large claws they use to attack enemies, being bears and all.

* WolverineClaws: Being bear-like creatures, they attack with their claws.

* WolverineClaws: They attack with huge claws on their hands.

* OneManArmy: Sapphiron does massive damage in an area every attack (roughly 30-50% more than a normal Frost Wyrm), has impressive armor (it starts at 6 and goes up to 15 with upgrades, versus a normal Frost Wyrm which goes 1-7), Resistant Skin (so he can't be targeted by spells like Polymorph), and 2750 health (which is around twice as much of a normal Frost Wyrm). He is the strongest non-hero unit the player can control in any of the RTS style maps, though due to his light armor type he can still fold easily to AntiAir. Besides his armor type the only other thing stopping him from being TheJuggernaut is not having Spell Immunity.

* ArmoredButFrail: Militia have a high armor value, but still have the Peasant's low health pool. This makes them very vulnerable to AOE magical nuke spells (i.e. Shockwave, Carrion Swarm, Flame Strike)

* WorkerUnit: The builder and resource gatherer for the Human Alliance. Compared with other factions' workers, Peasants stand outside of the building they're currently constructing (which means that they can be attacked but are also not tied up until the building is finished), and multiple Peasants can work on the same building to speed up construction at the cost of more resources. Peasants can also be upgraded to carry back double and then triple the amount of lumber in a single trip, giving the Alliance the best innate lumber economy second to hiring a Goblin Shredder.

* AttackReflector: Footmen using Defend have a chance of reflecting Piercing attacks back at enemy units, though they cannot reflect attacks against buildings.

* InformedEquipment: Despite what their appearance might suggest, the Footman is ''not'' a HeavilyArmoredMook, with only an unremarkable starting armor value of 2, especially when compared to the Militia, who has much less visible armour. However, they do at least have the highest armor of the basic units (Grunts start with 1, Ghouls and Archers have 0).

* BayonetYa: Some artwork and even their ''Reforged'' models have bayonets attached to their rifles. They're just for show, since the Riflemen are still going to shoot enemies at point blank.

* AntiAir: The Siege Engine can gain an ability called Barrage that allows it to fire rockets at air units.

* MightyGlacier: Unlike most siege units, they are inversely verly durable and attack nearly at melee range. They have high HP and Fortified armor, which are normally only found on buildings. This means most attacks deal reduced damage to them. The cost of all this resilience is that they are slow.

* TheJuggernaut: Dragon Roosts only appear on maps that can support six or more players, because Dragons are very hard to stop even though they are the most expensive unit in the game by a wide margin. They have Heavy armor as opposed to Light armor like most flying units, so they do not take extra damage from Piercing damage, which is what most ranged units that make cost-effective AntiAir responses use and have spell immunity so [[RemovedAchillesHeel they're immune to the only damage type effective against Heavy armor]]. Being high-level Creeps, most abilities that would otherwise hinder them wear off very quickly.

* GuestStarPartyMember: For a small section of ''The Founding of Durotar'', the player gets a base and can train Stonemaul Ogres alongside the regular Horde units; aside from having only a single head, they're statistically identical to their regular counterparts. Stonemaul Ogres also appear among the AI-controlled allies in the final chapter of the campaign.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Unlike most unique campaign units, Sapphiron is affected by upgrades. Additionally, he gains much more armor (3 instead of 2) and damage from upgrades than most units.

* MightyGlacier: They have the highest HP of any non-hero or non-Creep next to the Mountain Giant, and the greatest damage per attack of any unit in the game. Unlike most flying units, however, they are also slow.

* MightyGlacier: The Chimaera has slightly below-average speed, but also has the highest damage of all the flying units next to the Frost Wyrm and can inflict heavy damage with its two attacks.

** Like the Necrolytes before them, they are evil versions of Priests (whose predecessors are Clerics). Instead of [[{{InvincibilityPowerUp}} Unholy Armor]] they have Unholy Frenzy (+75% attack haste) and in a twist, have a brand new super-debuff ability called Cripple that incapacitates similar to the Sorceress Polymorph ability. However, their main members are Human Magi who gave into the temptation to study Necromancy and joined the Lich King to indulge themselves.

* TheArtifact: Some of the Knight's voice lines reference a helmet with a visor closing over his face as he speaks or him struggling to remove it, despite him not wearing one. This is because the Knight originally wore a winged helmet before his original model was replaced with the model used by the helmless Crusader hero unit after it was scrapped in development, while the Knight's voice lines were unchanged.
