Hylden scientists

Hylden Scientists were an enemy class featured in Blood Omen 2. They were first seen in Chapter 9:The Device and were again encountered in Chapter 11:The Hylden City.

Hylden Scientists were the first Hylden enemies encountered in Blood Omen 2. In Chapter 9:The Device, Kain was warned about the Hylden presence in the device, by the Beast. As Kain descended into the Device, he was able to witness a Glyphwright transform into the Hylden Scientist form.

Hylden Scientists were the 'regular' Hylden caste seen in Blood Omen 2 (as opposed to the Hylden Warriors), presumably they were responsible for the the maintenance and upkeep of the Glyph magic network and other Hylden machinery in Nosgoth. To this end, they often ventured out into Meridian in a Human disguise - that of the Glyphwrights.

In combat the Hylden were much more resilient than previously encountered enemies and had a much longer combo attack; as with previous enemies, they usually followed a long combo with a Yellow Power Move or Red Unblockable Attack - though Red Unblockable attacks were noticably used less often than previous enemies (presumably to encourage players to block and use Rage -dependant Combat Dark Gifts).
