This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.

The Orcish Demolisher has always been a standing asset to the Horde. Capable of hurling fiery projectiles over great distances, Orcish Demolishers have been the doom of many Alliance regiments. Though a small team of Orcs must always be available to man these destructive machines, unerringly Demolishers serve as the Horde's greatest siege weapon.
