The '''Claidheamh Mòr''' is a [[melee]] weapon for the [[Demoman]]. It is a {{w|greatsword}} similar to the [[Eyelander]] that has a crossguard with side rings, a red/blue and green {{w|tartan}} wrapped around the grip and a blood-spattered blade. Like the [[Eyelander]], the Claidheamh Mòr also has a large melee range and cannot roll for random [[Critical hit]]s. Unlike the Eyelander, however, the Claidheamh Mòr only imposes a -15 to max health on its wielder instead of the Eyelander's -25. It also will not collect heads from decapitated victims, and as such, killing enemies with the Claidheamh Mòr will not increase the damage potential of the Targe Bash when using the [[Chargin' Targe]]. When equipped with the Chargin' Targe, the Claidheamh Mòr will allow the Demoman to charge for an additional 0.5 seconds.

Right about now you must be wondering how in God's name you're supposed to pronounce Claidheamohmor. The answer: you don't! If you're remotely near one you'll be dead long before you're done injuring your vocal chords anyway!
Fancy vs. Nasty Update description

The Claidheamh Mòr is a melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a Template:W similar to the Eyelander that has a crossguard with side rings, a red/blue and green Template:W wrapped around the grip and a blood-spattered blade. Like the Eyelander, the Claidheamh Mòr also has a large melee range and cannot roll for random Critical hits. Unlike the Eyelander, however, the Claidheamh Mòr only imposes a -15 to max health on its wielder instead of the Eyelander's -25. It also will not collect heads from decapitated victims, and as such, killing enemies with the Claidheamh Mòr will not increase the damage potential of the Targe Bash when using the Chargin' Targe. When equipped with the Chargin' Targe, the Claidheamh Mòr will allow the Demoman to charge for an additional 0.5 seconds.
