Classical barbarian heroes are tall, muscular, smelly, and wear little besides a sword and a loincloth. But since the most famous (and most successful) of all had written a [[Inne Juste 7 Dayes I wille make you a Barbearian Hero!|manual]], [[Nijel the Destroyer|skinny and asthmatic heroes]] have been known to roam the land.

Not abiding by the laws is central to being a barbarian hero, however all heroes will follow [[the Code]].

The profession of barbarian hero appears to be disappearing fast as inventions such as the [[Clacks]], together with a general rise in the level of background civilization, make the Disc a smaller place by the day. Not only are all the traditional venturing grounds within a hundred miles of Ankh-Morpork all played out, the average age of a typical barbarian hero is currently around seventy. With the exception of the occasional romantic of the [[Nijel the Destroyer]] persuasion, few young men are entering the profession. On top of this, there are unexpected hazards. As [[Truckle the Uncivil]] discovered, a man can't test his mettle against a traditional foe like the [[Five-Headed Vampire Goat]] of [[Skund]] anymore, not without conservationist groups coming out of the woodwork and protesting that this is an endangered species. And just ''you'' try going after dragons, anywhere where Lady [[Sybil Ramkin]] is likely to get to hear about it.

No, the last seven names on the list below are all ''former'' barbarian heroes. [[Cohen]] is given an update on their fates as he strides in to take possession of [[Hunghung]] City in {{IT}}, and grows ever more despondent on hearing the sad news of their various fates. This quite possibly plays on his mind; the manner of the death of [[Old Vincent]] is the last straw, and he elects to lead the [[Silver Horde]] out one last time to go up with a very big bang. This tale is told in {{TLH}}.
