== | ==Trivia== | ||
*''[[Destiny]] | *Before being Taken, Baxx lacked any markings or scars that separates the broods, though it can be infered that it once served the [[Spawn of Crota]]. | ||
*Baxx's name was formerly Baxx, Thane of Oryx during the production of The Taken King. | |||
*Baxx's has partially red colored skin although he's [[Taken]]. This is strongly implied to have to do with how much will a Taken retains in ''[[Forsaken]]''. | |||
*Although previously a major enemy when he was a Hive, Baxx grew larger and became an Ultra as a Taken. | |||
*Baxx is the first Taken Ogre Guardians encountered. | |||
*Baxx is the only boss Ogre to have the power to enrage, however this is tied to [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx]]'s death. | |||
*In Last Rights, Baxx can be killed in the brief time he appears, however there is no impact on the story. | |||
