| | | The '''Grasp of Nokris''' is a [[Hive]] sect centered in the [[Hellas Basin]] in the polar ice caps of [[Mars]]. Dormant for centuries after the Collapse, they were awoken and acted in the name of their leader, [[Nokris, Herald of Xol]] and their Worm God [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]]. After Xol's death and [[Whisper of the Worm|defection]] to their killers, they began making desperate attempts to summon [[Savathûn's Hive]] to their aid.<ref name="Exp2">[https://www.destinythegame.com/uk/en/expansion2 '''DestinyTheGame''': ''Expansion II - Warmind'']</ref> Eventually their former High Priest Nokris would pledge his allegiance with the Witch-Queen herself. |

| With Xol having abandoned them for the [[Guardian]]s and Nokris leaving Mars for Savathûn's [[Court of Savathûn|court]], the brood of undead Hive had quieted their activity with the [[Pyramid (Mars)|Pyramid's]] arrival.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore:Duress and Egress|Duress and Egress]]: [[Lore:Duress and Egress#Ana: Black Box|Ana: Black Box]]''</ref>

| The Grasp of Nokris were the only known brood composed entirely of reanimated Hive with their leaders possessing the heretical secret of [[necromancy]], giving them the power to continuously raise their deceased in endless cycles of death and rebirth. The majority of these undead Hive all had ice and rime fused to their chitin after centuries of being frozen cryogenically, which caused them to shatter upon being killed rather than combust into flames or disintegrate like the other Hive broods. They were found exclusively at the polar icecaps of [[Mars]], specifically having their breeding grounds located in the [[Penumbral Depths]] buried beneath Hellas Basin.
| |
| | |
| Since Savathûn's defection to the Light, what remained of the Grasp of Nokris joined her and were consolidated into her [[Lucent Brood]], sharing their secrets of necromancy with the brood. Such secrets would go on to be an [[Ghosts of the Deep|invaluable]] boon.

| *The Grasp of Nokris had a unique faction insignia distinct from the general [[Savathûn's Brood|Hive]] in-game. The symbol resembled the central "eye" of [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]]. Another symbol of this faction bore the head shape and eyes of Nokris. | | *All the Hive within this faction are covered in ice crystals and when they die, their bodies shatter like ice. This is likely a result of being imprisoned within the frozen ice caps of Mars for centuries. |
| *The Cursed Thralls in the brood are a unique variant that inflicts a "Chilled" debuff on all targets within range, severely decreasing their mobility for ten seconds.

| *The units of the Grasp of Nokris had slightly different sounds than Hive from other sects, sounding far more guttural. | |
| *Due to Mars' disappearance and Nokris abandoning the Grasp of Nokris for [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], the Grasp of Nokris may be the first enemy faction introduced in Destiny 2 to go extinct.
| |
| **In ''[[Season of the Seraph]],'' the Brood was stated to have been consolidated into the [[Lucent Brood]].
| |
| *The Grasp of Nokris is the only Hive brood to have [[Adherent]]s in their ranks.

| **The Grasp of Nokris was also the only Hive brood so far to have [[Vanquisher]]s until ones from [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] appeared in ''[[Season of the Seraph]]''.
| |
| *The Grasp of Nokris has never been mentioned by name in-game. They have only been referred to as such once on Bungie.net when Warmind was initially released.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180426092418/https://www.destinythegame.com/ca/en/expansion2</ref>
