“ | The Glyphid Oppressor is literally an organic tank: A monstrously mutated Praetorian, the Oppressor is covered in so much bullet-resistant chitin that it is pointless to attack it from the front. Luckily, they still leave their abdomen mostly exposed to flanking maneuvers, but the Oppressor is something you very much don't want to encounter in a tight space. Their forelimbs are powerful enough to chew through sheer rock like butter, as well as capable of producing stunning shockwaves on impact. Be extra mindful of your footing when confronting one of these. |
— Miner's Manual Description |
The Glyphid Oppressor is a hostile creature found on Hoxxes IV. It is a "mutated" Glyphid Praetorian, larger in size and with black, pointed, chitinous armor encasing every inch of its body save for a small, green abdomen found on its back. It has a large pair of tusk-like fangs protruding from its jaw.
Oppressors can appear in any mission type. They are capable of digging through terrain in a manner akin to the Glyphid Dreadnought. Moreover, their impressive durability and powerful set of attacks make them one of the bigger threats among the Glyphid species.
Combat[]
Health and Armor[]
The Glyphid Oppressor has a massive section of unbreakable armor covering the entire front of its body. It can therefore only be damaged with conventional weapons by attacking the small, greenish weakpoint on the back of its body, in roughly the same area as the Glyphid Praetorian. It can also be damaged with indirect damage using weapons such as the CRSPR Flamethrower or the Cryo Cannon, as well as melee attacks or pierce weapons (at the moment, only the Nishanka Boltshark X-80 has such a damage type), although the latter damage type deals only 50% damage to the Oppressor.

Attacks[]
Like most other Glyphids, the Oppressor inherits a melee attack in which it bites a dwarf at close range. Aside from this, it has numerous other deadly attacks:
- The Oppressor can pound the ground with its front legs, creating a massive shockwave that knocks back any unfortunate dwarves standing near it and dealing a small amount of damage.
- The Oppressor can dig in the same way that a Glyphid Bulk Detonator or a Glyphid Dreadnought can, using a slam that removes terrain and damages any dwarves in the radius of the slam.
- A ranged attack consisting of the Oppressor repeatedly slamming its front legs on the ground, producing stalagmite-like protrusions from the ground that damage and push away any dwarves caught in the area of the attack.
- The Gunner's Shield Generator will not block it.
