Hunter

From Pfhorpedia, the Marathon Wikia, working on 181 articles

The hunters are the strongest of the Pfhor infantry, they are a rank above the troopers. Hunters, like the troopers only have two sub-ranks. These two ranks are the minor hunters wearing brown armor and the major hunters wearing green armor. However, an even stronger hunter was introduced in Marathon 2: Durandal, called the "Mother Hunter". These new hunters sported blue armor and were roughly one and a half times the size of the major and minor hunters.

[edit] Anatomy and Physiology

The hunters are decked out in heavy armor with a shoulder mounted plasma cannon. They also have giant shields over their forearms. In Marathon, the hunters had a round helmet and mouth piece, much like a knight helmet. Also, unlike the fighter their third eye was on top. In Marathon 2: Durandal and Marathon Infinity their design was changed quite a bit. They still wear heavy armor, but their helmets have sharp spikes protruding out in all directions, and their third eye is on bottom. Hunters are most effectively harmed by either the Fusion Pistol, or the SPNKR. Bullets from the assault rifle and pistol don't seem to do much damage to them.
