Wulfgar returned to the major role in The Spine of the World novel . He also appears in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn computer role - playing game as minor NPC . </P> <P> As described in The Crystal Shard, Wulfgar is roughly 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m), blond - haired and blue - eyed (common for the barbarian tribes he hails from), and developed his awesomely muscled physique when he was in servitude to the dwarf Bruenor Battlehammer for five years--working alongside dwarves, who are renowned for being tireless . Wulfgar is broad - shouldered and thick - chested with a wiry waist, and his arms have been described as thicker than a fat dwarf's thighs . Despite his bulk, he's moderately graceful . He's also relatively young and has a boyish face, and eventually grew a beard . </P> <P> Wulfgar has incredible strength for even his barbarian race . For instance, Wulfgar once pulled the prow of an entire ship out of the water, and once lifted a three - hundred - pound man with one arm, and then threw him through the tavern where the bar fight had begun . Also, when he challenged King Heafstaag, a mighty barbarian leader in Icewind Dale, Wulfgar literally crushed the King's head like a melon with his bare hands . Wulfgar managed to resist Heaftaag's spine shattering bear hug as he did so . He also used a large, irritable camel as a projectile weapon to defeat a gang of bandits in The Halfling's Gem, and escaped a flesh golem, Bok, that was slowly bear - hugging him to death by tearing off its head with his bare hands . Wulfgar would routinely take on foes much bigger than he and defeat them with his strength and mighty warhammer . </P> <P> As a youth, Wulfgar was the flag bearer for Heafstaag, king of the Elk Tribe . He participated in barbarian invasion of Ten - Towns, where Bruenor Battlehammer, a dwarf, knocked Wulfgar out by sweeping his legs out from under him . After the battle, when the people of Ten - towns were slitting throats of the barbarians not quite dead, Bruenor spared Wulfgar . Instead of death, Breunor sentenced Wulfgar to five years and a day of service to Bruenor . Wulfgar took to the forge and, over time, changed his opinion of Bruenor from a slaver to a father . Bruenor crafted the legendary warhammer Aegis - fang as a gift for Wulfgar . When Wulfgar's sentence was almost up, Bruenor bade Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow, to teach Wulfgar how to fight . </P>
