Though relatively weak, this unit relies on swarm tactics to overwhelm its foes. Harpies are smaller Vex that dart in and out of battle, firing from mouths filled with filaments. Hydras resemble "robotic centipedes" and float through the air to attack from turrets attached to each segment of their wriggling bodies. They function as a stationary turret of sorts, and do not appear often. The Cyclops are known for being one of the strongest if not the strongest non-boss Vex unit. It would be foolish for a Guardian to engage these enemies alone.Ĭyclops are large, T-shaped, one-eyed Vex. Praetorians are a stronger, more devastating variation of Minotaurs who defend the entrance of the Vault of Glass. They are very dangerous if not handled quickly, due to their aggressive teleportation and explosive weaponry.
Minotaurs are even larger than Hobgoblins, with broad shoulders and three glowing eyes. When shot, Hobgoblins will crouch, activating a temporary, impenetrable shield that deals solar damage to Guardians that get too close. Though Hobgoblins have relatively low health they should not be taken lightly due to the sniper-like line rifle they use. Hobgoblins resemble Goblins, but are larger and can be distinguished by their distinctive tails, as well as differently shaped heads. Goblins are ground infantry and basic foot soldiers that defeat their enemies by overwhelming them in huge numbers. They also have a presence on Mars and are the sole residents of the Black Garden. They have a stronghold on Io which Asher Mir calls the Pyramidion. The Vex have total control of Mercury and Nessus and inhabit a massive stronghold on Venus humans call The Citadel. The Vex despise the Cabal as much as humanity and are constantly fighting them on Mars, keeping Cabal operations from expanding further into the system.īungie has described the Vex as having a "fascinating" fiction behind them, "which, in turn, creates one of the coolest deaths in the game." Geography Their routines and ceremonies remain mysterious and illogical to humans they are hostile, unrelenting, and deadly. If they are decapitated, they will remain active and become more aggressive. Their bodies are made of an unknown metal alloy resembling hammered brass, yet they are not entirely mechanical some organic materials are present as well. All attempts to communicate with the Vex have failed, due to their single purpose to expand their species throughout the galaxy, commanded by Axis Minds that single-handedly control whole armies.
The Vex appeared on Venus from an unknown location by way of transfer gates that allow them to instantly warp through worlds and time. From these primordial origins the Vex began to spread. In the earliest epochs of the universe, the Vex existed as patterns in the primordial chaos, and later during the era of atomic matter rode comets down to young worlds and encoded themselves as a substrate of Radiolaria. The Vex originated from before the beginning of the universe as highly tenacious patterns fleeing destruction at the battle fought outside of cause and effect.
