Glyphid Oppressor
“ | 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. Two large, tusk-like fangs protrude from its lower jaw.
The Glyphid Oppressor can appear in any biome on any mission type.
Combat
Health and Armor
Although slow, the Glyphid Oppressor has a massive section of armor covering the entire front of its body. It can only be damaged by attacking the small weakpoint on the back of its body, in roughly the same area as the Glyphid Praetorian. Unlike the Praetorian, however, the Oppressor's weakpoint is much smaller and harder to hit.
The Oppressor can also be damaged with indirect damage using weapons such as the CRSPR Flamethrower or the Cryo Cannon, though these deal greatly reduced damage.
While highly resistant to nearly all forms of damage, the Oppressor is nonetheless vulnerable to melee damage from Pickaxes, taking massive damage from Power Attacks.

Attacks
- Bite: The signature Glyphid melee attack. The Oppressor bites a dwarf at close range, inflicting heavy damage. The Oppressor's Bite is unique in that it causes AOE damage and can harm multiple dwarves.
- Slash: An alternative melee attack in which the Oppressor swats at a dwarf with its forelimbs. This attack is identical to Bite, differing only in appearance.
- Sonic Stomp: The Oppressor lets out a loud roar before slamming the ground with its forelimbs, creating a shockwave that sends any nearby dwarves flying while dealing a small amount of damage.
- Dig: The Oppressor can dig through terrain in a manner akin to the Glyphid Bulk Detonator and the Glyphid Dreadnought, using a slam that removes terrain and damages any dwarves in its radius.
- Rage Quake: A ranged attack consisting of the Oppressor repeatedly slamming its forelimbs down on the ground, producing stalagmite-like protrusions from the ground that damage and push away any dwarves caught in the area of attack.
- The Gunner's Shield Generator will not block it.
- Death Cloud: Upon death, the Oppressor temporarily releases a poisonous cloud of green gas that damages any dwarves within its radius, much like the Glyphid Praetorian.
