Hrun is a barbarian hero from [[Chimeria]], featured in {{COM}}. He meets [[Rincewind]] and [[Twoflower]] in the [[Temple of Bel-Shamharoth]] and initially has the intention of stealing the luggage, but a sword that he had gotten a couple of days before, [[Kring]] causes the monster to appear. After [[Bel-Shamharoth]] is defeated thanks to Twoflower's camera, he calls his horse and help them escape the temple before it falls down. From then on, he agrees with Rincewind and Twoflower to accompany them in their trip to [[Quirm]].
Later, when they reach [[Wyrmberg]], he banishes [[Lio!rt_Dragonlord|Lio!rt]] and [[Liartes_Dragonlord|Liartes]] from [[Wyrmberg]] so that [[Liessa]] can rule. He was going to rule as Liessa's husband. This may have been a short-lived marriage, as in {{IT}}, it is revealed that he has turned his back on the freewheeling barbarian lifestyle and taken a lowly Sergeant of the Guard's job elsewhere than the Wyrmberg. (Or perhaps Liessa has been deposed and exiled? Don't forget she was merciful enough not to kill her brothers - this opens up the possibility one of them came back to get even. If she is no longer DragonLady of the Wyrmberg, strict necessity may have forced her husband to become a wage-slave). His stated reason was that ''it's a job with a pension.''

He briefly wielded [[Kring]], an annoyingly sentient magic sword.

Earlier in {{COM}}, Rincewind lies to Twoflower that a Watchman dragging out casualties of a bar fight is Hrun (Twoflower has always wanted to meet Hrun, and Rincewind was getting tired of the tourist's always-cheery attitude.) The magical resonance from this outrageous lie caused Hrun a moment of concern during a battle with rampaging [[Gnolls|gnolls]], but then neither Rincewind nor Hrun realised this.

==Annotation==

While Hrun is clearly a generic all-brawn-and-no-brains barbarian hero, it is a fair guess that he is related to {{wp|Thrud_the_Barbarian|Thrud the Barbarian}}, a comic strip character who first appeared in ''White Dwarf'' magazine and who has the same huge-body-and-orange-sized-head physique and about the same qualities ("The strength of twenty men, the speed and agility of a black panther and the intelligence of a garden snail").
