Translations:Hunter/1/en
The wolf snarled and sprang towards them with a great leap. At that moment there was a sharp twang. Legolas had loosed his bow. There was a hideous yell, and the leaping shape thudded to the ground; the Elvish arrow had pierced its throat. – J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Fellowship of the Ring".
Summary
Tracker, pathfinder and master of the bow, the keen-eyed Hunter can fire arrows to devastating effect. Archery is not the only thing in which the Hunter excels, for she can lead her companions through Middle- earth faster than they could travel on their own, and can set traps to ambush enemies. While the Hunter has decent close combat skills, she would rather let her bow do the work.
