* NonActionGuy: Downplayed. The Driller's weapons primary weapon is very specialized and short-ranged, while his sidearm is the weakest weapon in the game. So while he ''can'' hold his own, and his flamethrower comes in handy during Swarms, the most useful thing he contributes to a team are his drills.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nexus.png]]

A spawning nexus for baby glyphids.

----

* MookMaker: Spawns Baby Glyphids, which are identical to Swarmers but with even less health and damage.
* ZergRush: Produces these all on its own. Woe to anyone who encounters one during a Swarm, in which case you're essentially dealing with a smaller ZergRush in the middle of a ZergRush.

!! Glyphid Dreadnaught
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/glyphid_dreadnought_02.png]]

The largest and most powerful creature the Glyphids have to offer. Is armored in the same way as the Praetorian, but is ''much'' tougher and has more tricks up its sleeve.

----

* BossBattle: Of Eradication missions. Although, like the [[Characters/Left4Dead Tank,]] they can show up randomly too.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: Doubly so. They have armor that prevents damage from the front, ''and'' they have two healthbars with one representing the strength of their outer shell.
* LargeAndInCharge: The largest Glyphid variant.

Sneakier Glyphids that shoot webs which blind you and slow you down.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/glyphid_exploder_04.png]]

A Glyphid subtype that's easy to spot by their glowing red backs. They're easier to take down than a Glyphid Warrior, but killing one causes it to explode, so you'd better keep your distance or get ready to run away. If they reach you they'll just explode themselves.

The Driller's pistol isn't very powerful and his flamethrower isn't a very efficient choice against individual enemies. Even his drilling isn't immediately useful, as the early parts of a cavern are usually sloped and straightforward. But his flamethrower is crucial during [[ZergRush Swarms]] as it's DamageOverTime lets him damage many weak enemies at once, and his drills can save the game during extraction, where you might be in a position where it's easier to simply [[CuttingTheKnot drill straight to the drop pod.]]
