Revision as of 02:14, 21 January 2015
The Fallen are a nomadic race of four-armed bipedal humanoids. They are a species of pirates and mercenaries located on Earth, the Moon, and Venus, and are one of the primary antagonist races in the Destiny series.[2][3]
Biology and Morphology
The Fallen are an agile race with four arms and two legs, giving them the ability to scale walls with ease.[4] The race expresses a complex understanding of technology as they possess advanced armor, weapons, vehicles and space-faring capabilities.[5] The Fallen have four eyes that glow a bright white-blue when they are alive, but once killed, the light dies out. In their mouths sit two rows of sharp, knife like teeth, indicating that The Fallen may be carnivorous in nature.
Fallen can survive in a wide range of environments without heavy armor or complex modifications to their physiology. They travel modestly, attack swiftly, and disappear after engagement almost instantly. They are also known to stalk their enemies and use group tactics to overwhelm Guardians.
When killed with precision damage, Fallen's souls are "ripped out of their body,"[6] visually appearing to "lift up and away like wisps."[7]
Geography
While the Fallen often squat in abandoned facilities on various worlds such as Earth, the Moon, and Europa, they are nomadic and therefore have no permanent strongholds in these regions, but instead call their starships home. According to the Fallen themselves, they have claimed every planet and moon that humanity once held. They can be found on Earth, the Moon, Venus, Mars, and the Reef.
Technology
Fallen technology is highly advanced, with the possession of energy weapons, advanced armor, automated attack drones, heavy vehicles, and space faring capabilities.[8] Not all of their weapons are advanced, however. The Shrapnel Launcher, used by Captains and Reaver Dregs, simply fires metal scraps collected from the surrounding buildings.[citation needed]
Weapons
Vehicles/Machines
Hierarchy
The Fallen are organized into distinct houses of nobility, some of which are as hostile to each other as they are to Humans, which suggests that there is brutal infighting within the species itself.[9] In combat, Fallen warriors operate in packs led by Captains and sometimes employ small drones called Shanks and/or large spider-like war machines known as Walkers. Fallen Houses are led by Kells, the masters of the massive Fallen Ketches.
