Hive



The Hive is an enemy species hostile to humans. Little is known about their origins or traits, though they apparently have a deep mythos and backstory made evident through their appearance and tactics.

Design Inspiration and Origins
During a panel at the Game Developers Conference in March 2013, Bungie stated that the Hive is designed to "capture a feeling of undead royalty."

At the time of the Destiny reveal, Bungie had not yet named the species. As a result, until March 2013 these characters were publicly known only by the nickname "Space Zombies."
