Vulgar Militia
The Vulgar Militia are small-statured fighters who lurk in grass, tunnels and lonely outposts and jump out at you. They fight with the Vulgar Militia Saw, the Vulgar Militia Shotel or a chain-sickle.
You find them hiding in the undergrowth of Liurnia of the Lakes, in the poison-filled tunnel up to the Ruin-Strewn Precipice, at Gaol Cave in Caelid, around the Golden Lineage Evergaol, at the Divine Tower of West Altus and Divine Tower of East Altus, guarding the Forbidden Lands and the Grand Lift of Rold, and near the Bestial Sanctum in Greyoll’s Dragonbarrow. In the Realm of Shadow, the Shadow Militia show up at Shadow Keep, the Specimen Storehouse and outside the Darklight Catacombs in Scadu Altus.

How to beat it
They have low poise (30 to 35), so a solid hit interrupts them. The real danger is getting surprised, so move slowly through tall grass and tunnels and look for them before they find you.
Lore
In the Lands Between, small folk were looked down on and shamed, and many banded together as the vulgar militia just to survive. Hostile to strangers, they became the grim wardens of forgotten fringes and old battlefields, living among the dead from the War Against the Giants and the crusade into the Realm of Shadow.
