Aegis-fang

Aegis-fang was the weapon of Wulfgar, son of Beornegar, of the Elk tribe.

Description
It was made from mithral (the head) and adamantite (the shaft), with a diamond coating magically adhered after the forging. Its head was engraved with magical inscriptions, which were covered by the symbols of the dwarven gods Dumathoin,, Moradin, and Clangeddin Silverbeard.

It was a large and heavy warhammer, perfectly balanced for Wulfgar. Any person not over 6'5" (1.9 m) and without considerable strength would have a hard time wielding it properly. It was attuned to its wielder and would magically return to their hand upon telepathic command.

History
It was forged for him by his adoptive father Bruenor Battlehammer after his servitude to the dwarf king was complete.

Wulfgar had trained extensively with this weapon. He used it in two battles against dragons&mdash;Ingeloakastimizilian and Shimmergloom&mdash;both with triumphant results. He also used it in a battle beside Drizzt Do'Urden and Bruenor Battlehammer against the balor Errtu, where the companions were also victorious.

Appearances
As well as appearing in many of R.A. Salvatore's novels, the weapon also appeared in Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. The game tried to explain that the most powerful of its enchantments worked only in Wulfgar's hands and, as such, if he is slain in the game, it only functions as a +3 warhammer for the player.
