Wolf Riders and Raiders are level 2 creatures of Stronghold town. They are recruited from the Wolf Pen.

"Goblins and hobgoblins mounted on wolfback are far more effective than their ground-pounding counterparts. The raider delivers two blows with each attack." ^{RoE manual}

Wolf riders and raiders often die in large quantities if they are to attack straight away, as most Stronghold units do, but used wisely, they can take down lots of enemies without dying, especiall y the wolf raiders.

Heroes with a specialty

• Tyraxor the Barbarian has wolf riders as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any wolf riders or raiders for each level attained after 2nd level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
