Hylden scientists

Hylden Scientists were an enemy class featured in Blood Omen 2. They were fist seen in Chapter 9:The Device and were again encountered in 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 (though they lacked an unblockable attack - presumably to encourage players to use Combat Dark Gifts)
