Vrykul/Bio & Battles

The vrykul of Northrend are a race of giant barbarians who are known and feared for their raids across the continent. Recently, they have proclaimed their loyalty to the evil Lich King, worshipping him as their "Death God". The Lich King uses the vrykul and their proto-dragon mounts as shock troops in his war of conquest, and occasionally chooses to ascend one to the status of Ymirjar, the vrykul elite warrior caste.

Battle vs. Aragorn (CuchulainSetanta)
Aragorn arrives by ship in Northrend, having tracked an uruk-hai warrior here. As he arrives, a vrykul warrior on a clifftop sees him and readies his harpoon gun. He fires, but Aragorn sees the harpoon flying at him and evades. The vrykul is angered and mounts his nearby proto-dragon.

Meanwhile, Aragorn readies his bow, not knowing where the attack came from. He hears a loud roar and turns, seeing the proto-dragon flying down towards him. Aragorn fires several arrows, but the vrykul steers his dragon out of the way. Aragorn runs as the dragon breaths a stream of fire behind him.

Aragorn pulls out Anduril and readies himself for the vrykul's approach. As the dragon swoops over to try to grab Aragorn, he swings his mighty sword, slicing the dragon's head clean off. The vrykul crashlands, but quickly gets back up, grabbing his spear. Aragorn readies a flaming arrow, and fires at the giant, but the vrykul catches the arrow before it hits him. Bringing it up to his face, he blows out the tip and breaks it in two.

Undeterred by this show of force, Aragorn charges in with Anduril. The warriors clash weapons, until Aragorn chops the vrykul's spear in two. Angered, the vrykul punches Aragorn in the face, knocking him down. Kicking Anduril away, the vrykul picks up Aragorn and prepares to cleave him in half with his battle axe. Just in time, Aragorn pulls out his dagger and throws it into the vrykul's eye. The giant drops Aragorn, who retrieves Anduril and thrusts it into the vrykul's chest. Aragorn pulls out his sword, and as the vrykul falls, thrusts it into the air with a shout of "For Elendil!"

Winner: Aragorn

Expert's Opinion
While the Vrykul was strong and had a Proto-Dragon to assist him, Aragorn had dealt with such enemies in his time, being a ranger of the Dunedain with a life four times the length of the average man.
