War Beasts are feral, vicious attack animals deployed by the [[ | War Beasts are feral, vicious attack animals deployed by the [[Red Legion]] as either shock troops, a distraction 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. | ||

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> | War Beasts have no ranged attack abilities but compensate for this with their incredible agility and unyielding ferocity.

==Trivia== | |||
*War Beasts are the first animal enemies to ever appear in the ''Destiny'' franchise, and are the first quadruped creatures the player can interact with. | |||
*Their attack strategy of using overwhelming forces and swift movements makes the War Beasts similar to the [[Hive]] [[Thrall]]. They also essentially serve the same purpose as cannon fodder. | |||
*When killed by a headshot, their bodies burst with the same [[Cabal oil]] that their suits use. | |||
*Cabal troops within the [[Red Legion]] and [[Loyalists]] 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. | |||
