The Tashunke Prowler is unique in that for every other Tashunke Prowlers in a radius of 20 around them, it gains +5% hit points and +10% attack, which is cumulative with each other. It is also the only cavalry unit that has stealth ability (except the Lakota War Chief with the "Center of Power" Home City Card).
Effective against artillery and Shock Infantry, Tashunke Prowlers deal Area of Effect damage and are effective when massed in later Ages, but are relatively weaker since they lack direct upgrades (for example, Champion) and have a train limit of 14.

Trivia[]
Tashunke is the (incorrect) anglicization of Tȟašúŋke, which translates to "their horse" in the Lakota language. Crazy Horse's name in Lakota is Tȟašúŋke Witkó, which translates as "His Horse is Crazy".
The primary means for a Plains warrior to gain glory on the battlefield involved acts of courage in battle - such as killing enemies, stealing horses, or taking weapons - which won prestige and enabled an individual to rise above fellow tribesmen as a warrior and leader.
For some groups, the highest honor of all was given to those warriors who managed to get close enough to touch an enemy and escape without killing him - a practice known as counting coup ("coup" is a French word meaning "blow"). A warrior could make contact with his hand, a weapon such as a club, spear, or bow, or even a specially crafted coup stick.
