Hive
The Hive are an impossibly ancient race that battled
humanity at the end of their Golden Age. They most
prominently reside on the Moon, where they have burrowed
deep within its lifeless core, carving out a kingdom for
themselves. They have been silent and buried among many
dark and terrible secrets, staying there for centuries while
growing stronger. They serve as a reminder of the
tremendous power that brought forth the Collapse.
The Hive are an ancient, undead species that traverse the
stars in ships that act like sarcophagi, which have kept them
alive by some magical means for millennia. The Hive delve
deep into a planetoid, unheeding of the damage they do in the
process, crafting linked caverns and gothic-inspired columns.
Their underground spaces are like a dungeon that has only
recently been pulled up from too long underwater.
The Hive are a vaguely humanoid species with dry, flaking
skin encrusted with ancient armor. At least some Hive appear
to have supernatural abilities, including the ability to hover or
float and manipulate energy.
Sword Logic. The Hive religion is not based on any sort of
morality; in fact, they see morality and the "false hope of
comfort" as an abomination of the living. Instead, Sword-
Logic forms the basis of the Hive's belief system. In short, it
can be described as a survival-of-the-fittest ideology taken to
an incredible extreme. It is not enough to merely defeat
enemies, but also to consume their power. All power must be
taken by force, not received as a gift. That is why the Hive's
swords are so deadly to Guardians; they create a bridge in
which the wielder saps the power of the victim. This also
extends to sacrifice, as Hive become ascendant by consuming
the souls of lesser Hive. The Hive's lust for power is a direct
reflection of their Worm Gods' insatiable hunger for Light,
and that the Hive must always be powerful, or else they
themselves will be consumed. Even if they wanted to, the
Hive can't stop killing or else they will perish. The Sword-
Logic determines the right to rule, as anyone who can depose
the current King is rightfully the new King of the Hive.
Anyone who cannot defend themselves, whether it be a
person, or a civilization, does not deserve to live and is fit to
be obliterated. This is how the Hive intend to "liberate" the
universe from its false hope, and the existence of the Hive
themselves is proof enough in their belief.
Hive divide themselves among sects.
Blood of Oryx, located on the Earth and Moon, and are
believed to be the direct servants of Oryx himself. Their
signature color is purple.
Spawn of Crota, located on the Moon and led by Crota,
Son of Oryx. Their signature color is yellow.
The Hidden Swarm, located on the Moon, and are
designated as the Hive's outermost line of defense. Their
signature color is red.
The Silent Brood, wardens of the Dreadnaught's
dungeons and overseers of Alak-Hul, the Darkblade. Their
signature color is light blue.
Cult of the Worm,an obscure sect that took hold in the
Prison of Elders.
Oryx to gain control of or destroy Rasputin.
The Scarlet Brood, not yet known.
Thrall
Thrall are the smallest, weakest and fastest Hive enemies.
Their main purpose is to overwhelm their enemies with
sheer volume and numbers. They are white in color and
preferring melee attacks using their long fingers tipped with
sharp claws and rush up close. They wear no armor other
than ancient plates that appear to be encrusted into their
bodies. They have no visible eyes and, in some places, their
skin has rotted away to expose their bones. They can burrow
in ooze-like puddles, lying in wait for prey.
Thralls are born from pupae laid by fertile Wizards. Upon
hatching, they are fed a larval worm which enters into a
symbiotic relationship with the Thrall. If a Thrall is able to
fight and survive well enough, it will become an Acolyte.
Otherwise, the worm will consume it for lack of killing.
Acolyte
Acolytes are Hive foot soldiers and do the bulk of the combat.
Acolytes appear to wear helmets with optical qualities and
seem to lack the long fingers and sharp claws of their Thrall
brethren, enabling them to wield weapons. They utilize
firearms and strategy to counter their enemy, coordinating
with other Hive to destroy their targets. Unlike the lesser
Thralls who act with little sense of self-preservation, Acolytes
actively utilize cover to avoid incoming fire from enemies.
Knight
Knights are a caste of formidable Hive creatures. They are
elite soldiers, and typically wield Hive Boomers or a Cleaver.
They can also summon a shield directly in front of them for a
few seconds to block incoming fire, while regenerating a
small amount of health in that time frame. On top of their
formidable weaponry and defenses, some Knights acquire an
Arc shield and increased effectiveness with their weapons
under some circumstances. Some other knights, such as
Urzok, the Hated, innately have shields. Knights are
promoted from the ranks of the Hive's Acolytes, chosen based
on their ability to fight and feed their hungering Worm on the
power of conquered foes. When on low health, they will be
sent into a berserker rage, for a high-damage melee attack
while regenerating some of their lost health. They rally lesser
Hive into battle, inspiring them with fear.

While the lesser Hive monsters carry out the Hive's will
through overwhelming force, the Wizards plan the Hive's
conquests and carry out the unspeakable rituals that create
its menagerie of abominations. In addition to fueling the
Hive's might through sorcery, the Wizards also serve as its
reproductive caste. A Wizard becomes fertile either from a
mate or on her own, whereupon she will produce the pupae
that give rise to the Hive's legions of Thralls.
Ogre
All Ogres begin as "Unborn," awaiting the time when they
will be called by the Hive Wizards for a "rebirthing" ritual.
After this, they are known as "Reborn," and possess greater
strength, intelligence and arcane abilities. Some Ogres are
bred specifically for sacrificial rituals.
Ogres are among the most vicious of the Hive's military
ranks. Their high durability and power make them a serious
threat to any Guardians on the field. For a ranged attack, they
are capable of launching a constant barrage of energy from
their head as if it were like a machine gun. This attack is
highly accurate and will melt a Guardian's shield in a matter
of seconds, even at long range. They are also capable of
unleashing a devastating ground slam when faced up close,
which will either deal heavy damage to or instantly kill any
Guardian that gets too close. When on low health, an Ogre
will become berserk and charge down on their targets until
they land a hit or are killed on the spot.
Shrieker
Shriekers are a Hive class that resemble a void "eye" with
large armor plates protruding from it. It lies dormant until
provoked, where it will split into multiple pieces that float
around a core. Closed Shriekers are almost impervious to
attack, so one must approach a Shrieker to open it and attack
it.
These ever-watchful sentinels are believed, in some circles,
to serve as the eyes of the Hive's innermost covens, allowing
powerful Wizards and Knights to watch over their domains.
Others believe Shriekers are nothing more than weapons
meant to guard Hive ritual sites.
