Notes

Nomads detest midgets, choosing to affix them to the front of their shield to show their hatred for them.
Whenever a nomad issues a command, he will always lift his shield to the side, exposing his body.

 ==Variants==
 * The basic '''Nomad''' wields an assault rifle and will slowly advance towards his targets, rarely seeking cover. He can knock back an enemy with an over-the-shoulder melee attack.
+*[[Nomad Pyro]]
-* The '''Nomad Pyro''' wears fire-resistant armor and wields a flamethrower, switching to assault rifles to engage targets outside the flamethrower's range. The fuel tank on a pyro's back is a critical hit location; when destroyed, the tank explodes, killing the pyro instantly. They are primarily found in [[Frostburn Canyon]].
+*[[Shock-Nomadic]]
-* The Tesla coils on a '''Shock-Nomadic''''s backpack provide him with shields and rapidly damage the shields of nearby characters. From a distance they use assault rifles and occasional shock grenades. Like the Pyro, the Shock-Nomadic's pack can be shot, but shooting it does not result in an explosion; instead, it arcs lightning onto anything nearby and disables the Shock-Nomadic's shield in the process. They will give orders to nearby bandits.
+*[[Nomad Taskmaster]]
-* A '''Nomad Taskmaster''' gives orders to the other bandits in the area, improving their combat effectiveness but potentially letting alert players prepare for the imminent shift in tactics. The Taskmaster carries a heavy armored shield that can deflect bullets. This armor plating can also be shot off with enough bullets or explosives. After this armor plating is removed, attackers can shoot the Taskmaster through the hole in their shield. If a Taskmaster absorbs enough damage on his shield, he may recoil, opening him up to attack from the front. Distractions such as Axton's turret will allow an attacker to flank the shield.
+*[[Nomad Torturer]]
-* The '''Nomad Torturer''' is functionally identical to a Taskmaster except for the Psycho Midget chained to his shield to absorb incoming bullets. Shooting the three chains that bind the midget to the shield will free him, allowing him to attack his tormentor if a Vault Hunter isn't close enough to draw his attention. Freeing the midget also reveals a small hole in the shield that attackers can fire through to damage the nomad. Aside from using assault rifles, they can also unleash a powerful shield bash when in melee range. Freeing the midget commonly causes the Torturer to use this attack on the midget, providing players a relatively easy opening to attack.
+*[[Marshall]]
-* Duster-clad '''Marshalls''' appear in [[Lynchwood]], serving as the [[Sheriff]]'s muscle. About five will appear near the bank when the bank is blown up during and after [[Breaking the Bank]].
+*[[Badass Nomad]]
-* The '''Sheriff's Posse''' accompanies the [[Sheriff]] of [[Lynchwood]] during the showdown, in front of the Lynchwood bank, and sometimes throughout the area riding armored skags.{{clrl}}
+*[[Heavy Nomad]]
-*[[File:Badass_Nomad.jpg|thumb|264px|Badass Nomad]]'''Badass Nomads''' are stronger Nomad Taskmasters with spikes on their shields.
+*[[Midget Nomad]]
-*'''Heavy Nomads''' carry rocket launchers (TVHM).
+*[[Loot Midget Nomad]]
-* Sometimes there are '''Midget Raiders''', who behave like normal nomads but are midget-sized. They are found in Lynchwood, [[Sawtooth Cauldron]], and [[Fink's Slaughterhouse]], and speak the usual nomad dialogue in a high pitched voice (TVHM).{{clr}}
-* On very rare occasions, a player might see a '''Loot Midget Nomad'''. Unlike normal loot midgets, the loot midget nomad is a natural spawn, and is extremely rare to see and/or spawn, they appear where all normal nomads can spawn.
-==Taskmaster Commands==
-*''Take cover boys!/Get behind something, idiots!/Put your damn heads down!'' - Enemies will take cover.
-*''Charge him/her boys!/Charge!/Overrun 'em!'' - Enemies will behave like a [[Psycho]] and run into melee range to attack targets.
-*''Toss grenades!/'Nades, now!/Throw grenades!'' - Enemies will throw grenades at targets.
-*''Shoot the short guy!/Shoot the 'zerker!/Everybody kill the short guy! - ''Enemies will focus on [[Salvador]].
-*''Kill the ninja thing/guy!/Get that Assassin!/Get the tall one!'' - Enemies will focus [[Zer0]].
-*''Kill the hot chick!/I want that Siren dead!/Get rid of the magic chick!/Men! Take out the Siren!'' - Enemies will focus on [[Maya]].
-*''Kill that Mechromancer!/The little girl! Kill her!/Somebody shut that Mechromancer down!/The Mechro-chick! Get her!'' - Enemies will focus on [[Gaige]].
-*''The Commando! Get him!/Tear the Commando Apart!/Rip up that Commando!'' - Enemies will focus on [[Axton]].
-*''Focus on that Slagger!'' - Enemies will focus on whoever applied the Slag effect.
-*''I want that sucker dead!/Pop that jackhole's head open like a grape!''
