Hida Avenger

The Hida Avengers are an elite group of Crab Clan heavy infantry. The Avengers are the paragon of all things the Crab hold in esteem. Avengers are knowledgable of the Shadowlands and skilled at killing all manner of its denizens. Although used primarily against the Shadowlands, the Avengers fight mercilessly in battles against other armies if need be.

Nearly all Crab Clan Champions have been Avengers. Although the majority of Avengers are from the Hida family many Crab of other families, including the Kuni are members. The Avenger sensei often accept any who meet the qualifications regardless of their Clan. A few ronin who have proved themselves in a Twenty Goblin Winter or defending the Kaiu Wall have also been admitted to the school, usually after having been offered fealty.
