A unit designed only for scouting. Without drunkenness, Dwarf Runners are incapable of prolonged combat and they cannot move very quickly without speed upgrades. However, they are highly resistant to piercing missiles and have a resistance to all elemental, which allows them to be used as reasonably expensive fodder.

Runners have the Palace Messenger and Royal Messenger reseaches just for them and also benefits from Weaponsmith, Armorer, Mithril, and Dwarven Brew researches.
