{{Infobox |image = Scientist.png |health = 175 |damage = 100 |attacktype = Melee |firstappearance = E1M10 }} The '''Scientist''' is an enemy encountered in [[The Facilities]]. They make their first appearance in [[E1M10: Creations]] and appear in several levels throughout the second and third episodes. == Appearance == Scientists appear to be normal Human men wearing a lab coat, grey undershirt, red and black striped tie, black pants, brown shoes, and a mask featuring slits for the eyes and a metal mouth guard. Each one is seen brandishing a syringe filled with an unknown substance. It is suggested the Scientists are responsible for creating many of the augmented units in [[The Military]], such as [[The Experiments]] and the [[Welder|Welders]]. == Tactical Analysis == Scientists will emit a short laugh upon spotting a player. They will then proceed to chase the player down at a relatively fast speed. If a scientist manages to catch up to the player, they will attempt to stab them with their syringe. The attack from a syringe is enough to cut a player's health in half or worse on harder difficulties, though Scientists themselves are weak enemies. In levels where multiple Scientists are around, such as [[E2M5: The Escher Labs]], the player will need to keep an ear and eye out for ambushing Scientists. Their shoes make a distinct sound when they walk, giving away their position. Since Scientists are weaker enemies with a health pool of 175hp, two blasts from the [[Shotguns]] or continuous [[Assault Rifle]] fire is enough to bring one down. Scientists usually appear in groups and alongside other enemies like the [[Possessed Soldier|Possessed Soldiers]], so targeting them first is a good strategy. Due to their Peak Human Level Lightning Bruiser mechanics, the player will need to be on their toes when they hear a Scientist's laughter. == Trivia == * The Scientists bear strong resemblance to the scientists from the Black Mesa Research Facility in ''HΞ»lf-Life''. *Possibly inspired by Dr. Decker, the villain from the 1990 dark fantasy film ''Nightbreed'', as their heads look slightly similar to Decker's mask. == Gallery == <gallery> File:SCIENTIST.jpg File:MultipleScientistsAttack.jpg </gallery> [[Category:DUSK]] [[Category:Enemies]] [[Category:The Facilities]]
