Magera

A muscular humanoid the size of a half-giant grins stupidly, its eyes fixed with greed upon your valuables and its fists balled and ready to swing.

Combat
Magera raiders are infamous for their hit-and-run tactics- usually in groups of ten, at least. They attack with weapons, though their huge fists are most often used when magera are caught unarmed.
