– Unreal manual

The Skaarj Warrior is an enemy in Unreal.

Overview

Skaarj Warriors are the first caste of Skaarj Prisoner 849 encounters while escaping from Na Pali. They are lizard-like beings colored light green with a gray chest and no apparent armor. They typically wear light armor which facilitates their brutal, agile, martial-art style fighting techniques. Their primary weapon is a device which later in the series became known as a Skaarj Razik: a wrist-mounted weapon bearing, in this case, two long, jagged, retractable blades and a projectile energy blaster. They are the standard Skaarj, having a fair amount of health, speed, and damage.

The Warrior class is stronger than the Scouts, and tend to be a little more aggressive. They appear to be about 7'10" tall at the top of the head, not counting the trademark dreadlocks. From the Mothership Core onwards, Warriors are obsolete. There are also two larger individuals that can be seen imprisoned in the Mothership Lab.

Tips and tricks

• The Flak Cannon is the most effective weapon to use against them.
• If you face a large number of Warriors, the ASMD or Eightball Gun could be a better choice.

Trivia

• The absence of even the typical Razik on this class suggests that the claws and energy bolts may also be part of the Skaarj's natural physiology, a trait that is partly supported, and modified, by the Unreal Championship 2 incarnation of the Skaarj.
