'''War Beasts''' are the [[Cabal]]'s frontline attack animals and military hounds used by the [[Red Legion]], [[Imperial Cabal]], and the [[Shadow Legion]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nv8CMiwllo '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 - NEW STRIKE! INVERTED SPIRE!'']</ref>

==Overview==
==Overview==
War Beasts are feral, vicious attack animals deployed by the [[Cabal]] as either shock troops, a distraction, trackers, or as cannon fodder to protect their other forces. These beasts are quick and highly aggressive and will attack any enemy in sight. They are also very tenacious and will not stop until either they or their enemies are dead. They were native to [[Torobatl]].

During the reign of [[Emperor Calus|Emperor Calus]], War Beasts were seen as a revered and respected part of Cabal culture; each one being bred to serve a specific handler from birth and as such, their bond with their handler was unrivaled. However, according to Calus, after he was [[Midnight Coup (event)|ousted]] and [[Dominus Ghaul]] took over the Empire, War Beasts were treated more of a military asset rather than a personal companion. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BVuriiWz94</ref> However due to Calus also using them in the same role with his [[Loyalist]]s and later [[Shadow Legion]], such claims are dubious.

War Beasts have no ranged attack abilities but compensate for this with their incredible agility and unyielding ferocity. While they are weak individually, and can be downed in just a few shots, they make up for this by being deployed in large numbers which can easily overwhelm enemies. Once they get in close to their enemies, they will relentlessly strike at them with their claws, teeth and blades affixed to their backs.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6i0sjm/so_i_played_d2_at_e3/ '''reddit''' - ''So I played D2 at E3...'']</ref>

Line 57: Line 58:
*Cabal troops within the [[Red Legion]] and [[Loyalists]] (with the exception of psions) wear bodysuits made from War Beast scales. Additionally, all War Beasts (including Loyalists) have a Red Legion brand on their hind leg. This could be a developer mistake for the latter, or it could be that only the Red Legion uses War Beasts and defectors to the Loyalists take the Beasts with them for additional forces, the brand still remaining.
