Types of Vex Enemies
Goblin
- Main article: Goblin
Goblins are the basic units. They do not take retreat, take cover, or falter. Unwavering, they will continues towards their objective until otherwise impeded. Headshots do nothing but enrage them, yet shooting the milky, protozoic substance at their core will dispatch them with ease.
Hobgoblin
- Main article: Hobgoblin
Hobgoblins are specialized for sniping. Their eyes contain advanced optic sensors, their horns contain acute sensory modules that they use to fully grasp their surrounding enemies. Even stranger, Hobgoblins, when attacked, have a defense reflex that seals them in unbreakable stasis for a short amount of time.
Harpy
- Main article: Harpy
Harpies (singular Harpy) are the fastest of the Vex, and capable of flight. They are often spotted in “flocks” on Vex scouting missions or on patrol. Harpies cannot move and fire at the same time, they must first stop and stabilize themselves before shooting.
Minotaur
- Main article: Minotaur
Minotaurs are strong, but interestingly, they’re the builders of the Vex. Most of their computational power is devoted to constructing the various structures on Mars, Venus and Mercury suspected to extend through dimensions. Minotaurs are the toughest shells of the Vex, and will use their ability to teleport with aggression.
Hydra
- Main article: Hydra
The largest mobile frame is the Hydra. Supercomputers, they can chew through data sent to it by all other Vex nearby in a matter of seconds. Not only this, but it boasts incredible fire power and a shield that absorbs all damage against it. When a Hydra is destroyed, the explosion it creates is powerful and deadly, but could be used to a Guardians advantage.
Lore
The Vex is a partially robotic, time-traveling alien race. From their home base on Venus, Vex releases countless waves of metallic minions at humans with the goal of conquering them.
After they appeared in the solar system, Vex arrive through warpgates arranged across the galaxy from a mysterious time and space. A number of different reports proposed that the Vex seemed to be mass-producing machines of war. Humans have not made official relations with these creatures because attempts to correspond with the Vex have failed. While the Vex's bodies are created from a mysterious metallic alloy, they are not completely mechanized. These creatures possess certain biological components as well. Their body components also vary in proportions, from humanoid-like to creature-shaped and quite often a combination of the two. Additionally, most of Vex have lengthy, claw-like hands. While Vex is not completely understood by humans, they are known to be aggressive, relentless, and dangerous.
Vex's headquarters is an enormous fortress on Venus known as Citadel. Additionally, they also have a presence on Mars.
