Sluagh (Soul Reaver 2)

Sluagh in Soul Reaver 2, also known as Lesser Sluagh or Common Sluagh, were a Sluagh variant enemy encountered by Raziel in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2.

Role
Sluagh were the scavengers of the Spectral Realm, where they could often be found feeding on lost Souls. Sluagh were arguably the most basic and common enemy variant encountered in Soul Reaver 2, present in all eras in a variety of locations, though confined to the Spectral Realm. The Lesser Sluagh (as opposed to the larger Greater Sluagh variant) were green-skinned bipedal humanoids with large eyes that glowed yellow. As with other Sluagh variants, the Lesser Sluagh could recover from damage by consuming lost souls; when defeated the Sluagh would become transparent and flee and at this time they could then be consumed as a regular soul.

In combat, Sluagh were perhaps the most agile and evasive of the enemies encountered by Raziel and they were proficient at dodging and claw lunges. They were also however some of the weakest enemies and were able to withstand few little damage. Sluagh would often attack in packs to overwhelm and corner their prey. In contrast to their predecessors, the Sluagh of Soul Reaver 2 were more confident in combat and would confront Raziel even when alone, only retreating when defeated; after which time they could still recover by consuming souls.

Sluagh were first encountered in the Pre-Blood Omen era as Raziel explored Nosgoth and they would be present in the Spectral Realm in virtually all locations across all eras.
