Confused about "scavengers."

[bugbait42]

Hi guys, how come the description of "scavengers" in the Wiki is:

"The Scavenger is a biomechanical entity of Thargoid origin found at Thargoid Surface Sites..."

And:

"...Scavengers are considerably smaller than Thargoid Interceptors, more like the size of a skimmer. They hover above the ground and roam at Surface Sites. They are equipped with some sort of corrosion beam on the frontal area to assemble or disassemble the structure..."

Scavenger

The Scavenger is a biomechanical entity of Thargoid origin found at Thargoid Surface Sites. Scavengers have organic circuitry that consists of both organic and mechanical elements. It is unclear whether Scavengers are sentient creatures or mechanical drones made by the Thargoids as workers.[1]...

However, there are several videos about killing "scavengers" in settlements for missions, such as this one from StealthBoy:

But the scavengers in those videos are not, apparently, anything like skimmers or to do with Thargoids, but human-like soldiers just like the ones found in settlements in the on-foot CZs, (of which I've already completed plenty.) So are there in fact, TWO types of scavenger?

Thanks!

There are AX Restoration missions in Thargoid controlled systems, military settlements, they have Revenants. Another type of Thargoid drone.

Yes, there are two groups with the same name.
Human scavengers are usually shortened to 'scavs'.

Ah ok, thought so. Maybe the wiki about scavengers should be updated to reflect that.

Cheers!

The wiki is, sadly, often either outdated, incomplete, plain wrong or filled with individual player fanatsies. It can be a good starting point, but be aware of its state.
