Scatha's Teachers are a type of melee infantry in Total War: Attila.

Description[]

"These stealthy warriors blend in with their surroundings, just as the shadow maid taught them."

A powerful warrior woman and a legendary general, Scatha or Scáthach is a major character in the mythological Ulster Cycle. Known as 'the Shadow' and 'the Warrior Maid', colour plates have been discovered that depict Scatha teaching Cú Chulainn of Ulster the many ways of battle, and even gifting him the "friendship of her thighs" near the end of his training! Naturally, with such an auspicious start, Cú Chulainn goes on to become a legendary figure in his own right. It is notable that the Celtic martial arts were usually taught by women, some believing that the teachers were also priestesses, and that they conferred additional powers to their chosen students when in battle.
