"The Barbarian is a very tough and strong character who battles to the death."
Dungeon Keeper Manual

The Barbarian is a hulking front line fighter. These heroes are encountered in all stages of the game, seeking battle with the forces of evil. The Barbarian's overall combat strength is similar to the Orc, though the Orc surpasses the Barbarian eventually by right of its Speed spell.

Barbarians are tough, no-fuss creatures, and good candidates for conversion. They love training, are very proficient at it, and will do it automatically. Unlike converted Samurai, Barbarians do not become unhappy if they lack the opportunity to train. There is nothing they particularly hate, and they have a moderate paycheck. Their only shortcomings are their inability to perform research and their lack of a spell repertoire, which is limited to Armour.
