One of the oldest weapons of all humanity, Older Than Dirt, along with the wooden club, is the javelin. Short, light spears that can be simply sharp sticks (though really, a hard point makes them much more effective), javelins can be used in melee at a pinch, but are usually thrown. They differ from the traditional spear in various ways: usually, while heavy spears and lances are melee weapons associated with guards, knights, and cool-headed, calm individuals, javelins are associated with speed, as they're lighter to carry than a spear, and provide hit-and-run skirmishers with the cheapest and simplest effective option. But there are important exceptions, most notably the Roman legions, who developed formidable heavy infantry tactics based on close-range use of heavy javelins followed up with sword and shield. Javelins are thus favored by light cavalry and skirmishing infantry, who can use them instead of bows and arrows — javelins are more economical to make and easier to use, and can be thrown one-handed while the other hand holds a shield or a horse's reins, though they lack the bow's range. (A well-equipped Horse Archer might also carry a couple of javelins, for closer-range work and as a backup to the bow.) The javelin is a very old weapon as well as being quite simple, so it's often associated with wild, primitive-looking cultures (though, again, the Romans provide a major counterexample). If a story takes place in a maritime setting then you may see its nautical cousin, the harpoon. In some stories, javelins will be coated in venom. Sometimes certain powerful characters won't be satisfied with mere short javelins and will show off by tossing very large spears around. In Video Games, there'll often be the trick of javelins returning to the thrower or magically respawning/reappearing in his or her hand. In mythology, javelins are often associated with lightning, with thunder gods throwing lightning bolts around as their human devotees throw javelins. There is a weapon/device itself known as the javelin-thrower, spear-thrower, or atlatl, which uses leverage to increase the power and range of a thrown spear; users of these are also covered by this trope. Like most weapons, javelins could be used in hunting as well as warfare; also, many cultures that knew of the javelin also went in for contests of throwing distance or accuracy, from casual matches between warriors or hunters to the formal sports of the modern Olympic Games. Artistic depictions of javelin-throwers may thus actually represent hunters or athletes. See Harpoon Gun for a high-tech version with aquatic associations. The more simplistic sort may overlap with Low-Tech Spears if they can be both thrown and stabbed with. The victim of an especially powerful javelin attack may end up Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, though in truth it would take incredible strength to throw a weapon right through someone. |

As expected the Amazons have been armed with either spears or javelins. With Wonder Woman (1987) having reimagined the Amazons as some of the oldest people on Earth it's unsurprising that most of the contestants in The Contest carry javelins as their weapon of choice and that javelin throwing is shown to be a popular hobby on Themyscira. | |

A Thousand and One... Americas: In the fifteenth episode, Native Americans are shown using javelins to hunt a herd of bisons. Knowing that it's difficult to deep-six a bison with one while it's running at great speeds, their plan is to lure them into a small ravine, and when one falls down into it they do throw a javelin at it in order to deliver the final blow. | |

Fire Emblem has the Javelin, Spear and Short Spear weapons, which alongside throwing axes count among the few weapons with 1-2 range, meaning that they can be used to attack up close or at a distance. However, this rare advantage comes at the cost of lackluster power and accuracy compared to ordinary lances. | |

Pyrrha Nikos wields a weapon that acts as a javelin — or at least it does part of the time. With this being RWBY, it transforms into a short sword and rifle. Interesting enough, when using it as javelin, she actually uses the gun part of the weapon to give the weapon a Recoil Boost. | |

Javelins have the longest range of any throwing weapon in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. This makes them extremely popular with characters who have high strength scores, like most fighters, paladins, and barbarians, because they're the most effective ranged weapon that uses strength for attack and damage rolls. In most editions, there's also the Javelin of Lightning, a magic weapon that as its name suggests becomes a bolt of lightning when thrown. | |

In Age of Empires II, Skirmishers are javelin-wielding ranged infantry who are strong against archers, despite the informational text clearly stating that actual skirmishers were used to harry heavier infantry. Oddly enough, they have a minimum range and thus are unable to strike enemies who are too close to them, unlike how actual skirmishers would doubtlessly just stab at the enemy with their javelins if forced to (though the Inca's unique technology fixes that). African Kingdoms adds the Berbers and their Genitour, which is essentially a mounted Skirmisher who can be trained even by players allied with the Berbers. Finally, the Vietnamese and their allies in Rise of Rajahs can upgrade Elite Skirmisher to Imperial Skirmisher. | |

Animated Inanimate Battle: Frisbee is extremely fond of javelins, and is even labelled with the scientific name of Javelinus Throwicus. Of course, his skills just involve throwing the javelins around willy-nilly, which may injure anyone happening to be in his projectiles' paths. | |

In the Golden Age Arc of Berserk, one of the Kushan assassins is a huge, muscular man who, instead of going to close range, opts to use his strength to throw large spears with ballista-like speed and force, using an atlatl or spear-thrower. In a lightless tunnel, he's lethal... unfortunately, he's up against Guts and the Band of the Hawk's best fighters. | |

In the Total War series, javelinmen are a core component of most early armies; a cheap, short-distance but high piercing unit that won't last long in any direct melee combat. In Total War: Rome II, most melee units in the game carry javelins as well as their normal weapons which they'll throw just before charging the enemy or being charged. This is in addition to other specialized javelinmen and cavalry javelinmen units. Total War: Attila has the javelin be very powerful in damage output, ensuring they'll quickly tear apart even the most armored units if thrown from an unshielded side but are low in range and total ammunition. They are much more uncommon in Total War: Warhammer, limited to being in the hands a few Chaos and Norsca ranged units. In the Shogun series and Empire: Total War, javelins are entirely absent. | |

League of Legends has a few of these: Nidalee, the Bestial Huntress alternates between a cougar form where she pounces at and assassinates enemies, and a human form where she chucks out javelins, among other things. Said javelins are slow-moving, but infamously one of the most powerful projectiles in the game (they increase in damage based on the range travelled before they collide with a target, and they scale hard), and not only can they chunk out a large fraction of a squishy target's health, it also marks them to make the next cougar pounce even more deadly. Pantheon, the Unbreakable Spear carries a "Comet Spear", and is able to thrust it at enemies in close range or charge it up to throw it forward (where upon impact, it immediately teleports back to his hand). Whichever version of the ability he uses, it penetrates all enemies it passes through and deals bonus damage to enemies who are already on low health. Kalista, the Spear of Vengeance, is a ghostly agent of revenge that hunts down betrayers and and runs them down with spectral spears. Unlike the other two examples, Kalista is a high-DPS champion, conjuring and hurling out spears at frightening speed, with an added ability to instantly rip out whatever spears remain stuck in their body for execution damage. |
