	~~''In~~ this ~~section~~, ~~describe:''~~		Wild Man of Dunland generally brings an even stronger minion into fierce skirmishes at a discount (with a damage bonus to boot), so the Free Peoples may have to decide between the potential harm of this minion and the definite harm of other minions on the table if it comes down to choosing which skirmish to lose. Because there will often be some extra twilight in the pool ({{Twilight\|2}} is the magic number for {{Card\|Wulf}}, {{Card\|Freca}}, and {{Card\|Wild Men of the Hills}}), you may be able to bluff your opponent into believing this minion poses a greater danger than he actually does. He is best combined with skirmish events or {{Card\|Saruman, Rabble-rouser}} to ensure victory.

	* ''General usage''		When {{Card\|Wulf}} is played by the text of this minion, the Shadow player will immediately be able to exert him to control a site as optional responses to a skirmish being resolved continue until both players pass (even if one of those options wasn't present at the resolution of the skirmish). This has some advantages over taking sites with {{Card\|Hillman Tribe}}: while the two minions are statistically identical, the Shadow player can devote all resources to Wild Man of Dunland without worrying about keeping other minions alive. If this minion wins a fierce skirmish you can use his text to play a minion then as well, though doing so means missing the fierce assignment phase so the played minion will not skirmish unless the Free Peoples player moves again (and will lose the keywords granted in the regroup phase before that happens). There are only a handful of instances in which this is practical; chief among them to play {{Card\|Freca}} and deprive the Free Peoples virtually any opportunity to kill him, or to add an extra minion to the table and discourage your opponent from moving during the regroup phase (potentially bolstering your own Free Peoples prospects in the process by cycling an additional Shadow card out of your hand).
	* ''Unorthodox or ~~subtle usage~~''
	* ''Common pitfalls of ~~using~~ this card''		His twilight reduction will stack with the text of {{Card\|Wild Men of the Hills}}, {{Card\|Dunlending Footmen}}, and {{Card\|Dunlending Reserve}}, allowing powerful minions to be played for very little. When combined with {{Card\|War Cry of Dunland}} or {{Card\|Anger}}, the Shadow player may be able to force second-string companions into skirmishes they cannot survive and chip away at the Free People's numbers. This "fierce swarm" Dunland strategy can put 4 minions with 9+ strength in the fierce skirmish for as little as 6 twilight, dealing up to 8 wounds -- among the most effective wound-per-twlight ratios in the game. To achieve these results, the Shadow player must carefully manage the composition of their hand.

			The biggest downside to the fierce swarm strategy is that not winning a skirmish (whether it is canceled, lost, or this minion doesn't make it to the assignment phase) not only causes the Shadow player to miss out of the first wound, but lose an opportunity to add 3 more (two from the minion played, one from the fierce skirmish Wild Man of Dunland would participate in) as well as keep the event and minion stuck in hand, preventing important cards for Free Peoples and Shadow alike from showing up when they are needed. This risk, along with the fact that most Fellowships give 8+ twilight every site after 3 anyway (especially after the introduction of the [[X-list]]), tends to steer people towards one of Wild Man of Dunland's more expensive kinfolk.

			Thanks to the synergy with {{Card\|Wild Men of the Hills}}, this card may be worth including as a splash for the Dunland discard strategy. As with the fierce swarm strategy, Dunland discard sacrifices hand space for twilight savings and shares similar advantages and challenges.
