A yaardy is a creature who is unique to Southern Ireland. He claims to be the defender of men; and is very violent. Yaardys are usually heavy drinkers, with the first Yardy said to be a chronic alcoholic.

Most Yaardys live to be over five thousand years old and generally they are heterosexual, like overweight, ginger wowen.
Honour is also very important to a Yaardy and if he percieves you to have no honour he will charge and "x factor" you, aiming to kill you. One thing which especially annoys a Yaardy is to kick him in conflict.

Warning: Once kicked a Yaardy will become enraged.
