Two-handed hammer

The two-handed battle hammer appears in  Ultima V,  Ultima VI,  Savage Empire,  Ultima VII,  Ultima VII Part Two and  Ultima IX.

Description
This is a weapon that is designed to crush the foes with pure strength. Its blows can shatter bones, even through armour, and thus make it an excellent choice as a weapon. However, its weight also means that only the strongest fighters can successfully wield the mighty battle hammer without problems. tinkers are especially fond of using hammers as weapons, and are often seen taking them to battle.

Britannia
These hammers, only to be used by the mightiest of warriors, started to be use in battle since Ultima V. From that point onward, their function and high damage stayed the same.

Eodon
Only a bipedal dinosaurian race called the Sakkhra upon Eodon fought their battles with these mighty weapons. That's why they were commonly found in their caves.

Variants
Several special battle hammers appeared over time:

Juggernaut Hammer
Seeing the great efficiency of Gargoyle boomerangs during the Gargoyle war, they created a magical hammer that can be thrown and always return to the wielder; inflicts high damage.

Hammer of Dedication
Much like the Juggernaut Hammer, but with less destructive power; from the time of the Ophidians.

Bone Crusher
According to the Saga of Bonecrusher, it was created by Hydros and has its origins in the early days of Pagan's Titanic rule. Lord Elsmil, the reigning Tempest at the time, carried the weapon in battle against an army of the undead, who were send by Lithos to raze the city. Although he was successful to drive them back, he died during the course of the battle. For unknown reason, Bone Crusher disappeared as well, only to appear in a cave upon the Plateau. This weapon is capable to inflict more damage if the target is an undead creature.
