| | A '''Major''' is a high level enemy of any species or class. They can be distinguished by their yellow health bars and sometimes, a unique name. These enemies have more health and attack power than regular enemies, and can even be equipped with [[Absorption shield|absorption shield]]s. Majors can appear anywhere from [[Patrol]] to [[Raid]]s and can come in the form of any enemy. |
| A '''Major''' is a high-power combatant of any species or class. They can be distinguished by their yellow health bars and sometimes unique names. These enemies have more health and attack power than regular enemies, and may be equipped with [[Absorption Shield]]s their base counterparts lack. Most majors are also more alert, and will often strafe sideways to dodge incoming attacks. Majors can appear anywhere from [[Patrol]]s to [[Raid]]s and can come in the form of any enemy species. | |

| Majors often have a unique identification, such as a yellow health-bar, or even proper names. However, all races possess common Major versions of their units.

| ==''Destiny 2''==
| |
| Majors in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' are also identified as Mini-Boss by the game, with their original role of "stronger line soldier" being taken by [[Elite]]s. Like the latter, they usually have different, more ornate designs and colorations. Killing or [[Finisher|finishing]] a Major has a higher chance to yield Power Ammo. Majors often have names themed around the activity they appear in, like the "Deceived" enemies of [[Gambit]], while other times they are named like their [[Minor]] or Elite version. Some rare enemies only appear as Major or stronger units, like [[Tormentor]]s. However, some common reoccurring ones exist.
| |
| | |
| ;[[Cabal]]
| |
| Common Cabal Majors are called Esteemed. In the [[Red Legion]], they can be identified by primarily golden armor. Among the [[Loyalist]]s, Majors maintain their name, but wear heavier armor with even more gold. In the [[Shadow Legion]], they wear white armor with gold highlights. Some Cabal factions also have an elite "Guard" division that appears in many activities, with different armor and always equipped with [[Absorption Shield]]s.

| ;[[Fallen]]
| |
| Common Major Fallen are called Resolute. Eliksni of the [[House of Dusk]] are identifiable by their primarily dark gray armor with purple straps and golden highlights. In the [[House of Salvation]], Majors have tanish armors with brown fur pelts; blue capes and insignia. Mechanical units of both factions don't change in appearance, except for Dusk Brigs, whose Major variants have a their purple insignia turned to gold.

| ;[[Hive]]
| |
| The common Majors of the Hive are called Blistered. In [[Savathûn's Brood]] (and later [[Xivu Arath's Horde]]), they can be distinguished by darker brown chitin. In the [[Hidden Swarm]], the chitin on the lower body is more faded beige, while the upper body is a deep crimson. The Majors of the [[Grasp of Nokris]] were called Dread Unhallowed, and had even larger icy growths over their bodies. In the [[Lucent Brood]], they can be identified through their dark chitin with extensive white paintings.

| ===[[Champion]]s===
| |
| Champions are a specific type of Major, gifted with an ability that makes them almost invincible. While they can be killed like normal enemies, they are intended to be defeated by using an effect that stuns them. They are commonly found in activities with higher elected difficulties, like [[Nightfall]]s and [[Lost Sector]]s.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Certain Majors have a delayed spawning glitch which gives them extra health and attack power of several Majors. A notable example is [[Randal the Vandal]].
| |
| *Fallen Majors of the House of Dusk had the color of their straps changed to black at some point, returning to purple only at the release of ''[[Season of the Deep]]''.
| |
| *Some very rare Majors, like [[Once-Ezriks, Retainer to Xivu Arath]], use the models, animations and attributes of [[Ultra]]s, and thus cannot be Finished.
