Harii

Among the Germanic tribes in Gaul mentioned by Tacitus in his Germania were the Harii. Little more is known of them beyond their mention by Tacitus, who described the Harii as:
"a fierce people who enhance their natural savageness by art and the choice of time. Their shields are black, their bodies painted black, and they choose black nights for battles and produce terror by the mere appearance, terrifying and shadowy, of a ghostly army. No enemy can withstand a vision that is strange and, so to speak, diabolical; for in all battles, the eyes are overcome first."
Slender links with the Heruli are sometimes made by modern enthusiasts, based on an imagined etymological equivalence.
