{{flavour|A weapon imbued with magic to disrupt and destroy the forces binding undead creatures together. Legends say that, long ago, a lich lord created many such weapons to ensure the loyalty of his undead servants. Sadly, this mace might be the last one left.}}

+7 [[great mace]]

[[Deathbane]]<br>
rN+

==Desirability==
'''Undeadhunter'''<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|art-data.txt|715}}</ref> deals superlative damage to the [[undead]], equal to +100% damage on average. However, actually threatening undead monsters are rare before [[extended]], consisting mostly of [[bone dragon]]s ([[Abyss]]), [[curse toe]]s ([[Zot]]), and the three [[lich]]es ([[Vaults]]:5, Zot:5, rarely in other places). Against the living, it's a +7 great mace; alright, but worse than a regular great mace or [[eveningstar]] with a decent [[enchant]] and [[brand]].

Note that [[holy wrath]] already has a massive multiplier (+75% average), also works on [[demons]], and can appear on one-handers. Therefore, Undeadhunter is often just ''unnecessary''. However, undead and demonic players ([[Ghouls]], [[Mummies]], [[Vampires]], [[Demonspawn]]) are unable to use holy wrath. And regardless of species, there's no stronger mace for the undead infested - but demon lacking - [[Crypt]] or [[Tomb]].

==History==
*Prior to [[0.30]], Undeadhunter's deathbane brand was called disruption.
*Prior to [[0.14]], Undeadhunter was considered an evil weapon, with the [[good god]]s forbidding its use.
*Prior to [[0.9]], Undeadhunter bore a [[holy wrath]] brand and was unwieldable by evil characters as a result.
