Types of Hive Enemies
Thrall
- Main article: Thrall
The Thrall are a plague. The basic units of the Hive, they are deployed in swarms that charge guardians and claw at them. The document refers to Thralls as “frames”, indicating that the Hive "rank up" their soldiers by adding more and more armor onto the Thrall. However, it could just represent the phenomenon that Hive corpses undergo.
Acolyte
- Main article: Acolyte
Where Thrall are the bullets, an Acolyte is the barrel. Acolytes are not merely footmen, but instruments of the Hive’s dark will. They hunger to commit the atrocities that will lead to the Hive’s success.
Knight
- Main article: Knight
Knights are the Hive’s defenders. Centuries of battle harden the bony spikes on their body into armor as hard as relic iron. Knights are bolstered by Hive magic to further increase their abilities. Knights wield an armory of weapons: Boomers that lob bolts of rotting star fire, Cleavers that are massive but are swung with ease, as if hungry for Light themselves.
Wizard
- Main article: Wizard
Wizards names are misleading, as they are exclusively female. They are scientists and sorcerers. Wizards experiment on whatever they can find and shield themselves in Fire and Darkness. During the reign of Crota, a Wizard was captured and interrogated, ultimately giving up the secrets to destroying the God.
Ogre
- Main article: Ogre
Ogres are abominable creations fueled with magic and rage. They are found in the deepest Hive tunnels and formidable opponents to any Race, Fallen or Human. Rumor has it that Ogres go through ritualistic transformations as they grow, imbuing them with might and cunning (and the ability to shoot void beams out of their foreheads, how they do this is unknown, but it should not be underestimated.)
Machines
Shrieker
- Main article: Shrieker
Shriekers are neither a machine nor are they organic. They are dead mass, animated by the magic of the Hive. When a Shrieker is destroyed, its inner Void seeks vengeance on those who did so. Some believe Shriekers to be the eyes of the Hive, allowing Wizards and Knights to watch over the battlefield and inner workings of the Hive’s extensive tunnels. Some believe to them to be nothing more than weapons, guarding important Hive areas.
Seeder
- Main article: Seeder
Seeders are enormous spears full of Hive that pierce a planets surface and unleash their horror upon it. Reports of Seeders being found on Earth are concerning, indicating that Hive may be looking to eliminate the Light, once and for all. A mission to the World’s Grave uncovered that the Hive have in fact been seeding Earth for centuries. Guardians wishing to uncover more about them can find on buried in Skywatch, near the infamous Treasure Cave.
Lore

They have built themselves massive cavernous areas interlocked with a number of tunnels sustained by medieval influenced support beams.
The look of The Hive can vary between their types, however they are generally pale and skinny. The members of the Hive seem to have no noticeable eyes, but there is a type that has 3 radiant designs in the center of their heads that appear like eyes.
