'''Haroktha, Scourge of the Helium Drinkers''' is a [[Hive]] [[Knight]] of [[Xivu Arath's Horde]]. Haroktha was tasked with commanding the Hive of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] and [[Fallen]] of [[House of Salvation|House Salvation]] forces aboard the [[Seraph Station]] as a means of taking control of it alongside [[Praksis, the Technocrat|Praksis the Defiled]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/20)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Operation: Seraph's Shield]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
Haroktha is initially encountered halfway through [[Operation: Seraph's Shield]], responding to the noise caused by [[The Guardian]]. It will fight for a few moments before summoning Fallen reinforcements and [[Warbringer Brig]]s and leaving the player to them.

Haroktha returns for a proper battle later in the mission, in a smaller room. They use a [[Boomer]] as their main weapon, can launch [[Acolyte Grenade|Solar Mortar]] grenades, conjure Clouds of Darkness, protect itself with a wide Darkness Barrier, and strike foes with an area melee attack or will enrage and rush towards the player with their gun raised to strike them with a basic melee. In addition, hordes of [[Acolyte]]s will constantly appear in the room, leaving little time to breathe. That said, Haroktha uses no immunity mechanics in this battle and can be slain with concentrated fire.

==Trivia==
*Judging by their name, they were involved with the destruction of the [[Helium Drinkers]], a fellow Krill nation that neighboured the [[Osmium Court]] on [[Fundament]].
**Adding to this, they were potentially one of the first few who still remember their life before becoming a Hive.
*Considering his potentially immense age, his role as a general and the fact that he possesses a similar body structure to the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] and the same bodypaint it's possible that Haroktha is also an [[Ascendant Hive]].
*Haroktha is referred to as the "Maw of Xivu Arath" in the gameplay text when they summon House Salvation forces.
