greataxe
Two-handed chopping blade
A greataxe is a large, two-handed battle axe, typically appearing in fantasy games and fiction.
Distinguished from ordinary axes by its size and the requirement to wield it with both hands, the greataxe trades speed for devastating damage: The barbarian hefted her greataxe and charged.
The term is standard in tabletop and video game contexts where weapon categories matter for combat mechanics.
