The '''Grasp of Nokris''' was a [[Hive]] brood 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, Supplicant to Savathûn|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 Brood]] to their aid.<ref name="Deathly Tremors>'''Bungie (2018/6/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] | The '''Grasp of Nokris''' was a [[Hive]] brood centered in the [[Hellas Basin]] in the polar ice caps of [[Mars]].

They would remain entombed within the ice of Hellas Basin for centuries, until the pulse of Light emitted by the Traveler at the conclusion of the [[Red War]] caused the ice caps to thaw. With the thawing of the Ice caps, the Grasp emerged with the goal of continuing their reason for arriving on Mars which would be to claim it - Rasputin on top of that. Over a period of weeks, the Grasp engaged Guardians, repeatedly being cut down, eventually culminating in the slaying of both their leadership and their Worm God. Despite the loss of their leaders, the Grasp would continue to be of nuisance to Hellas Basin with many of their champions frequently returning, being challenged by Rasputin's Escalation Protocol. | ||
