The '''Taken Hydra''' is a [[Taken]] [[Vex]] that keeps its Aeon Maul but loses the Hydra's protective semi-circular shield, making it vulnerable to ranged attack and reliant on its support troops for overall protection. It also detonates if a Guardian gets too close, much like [[The Undying Mind]]. Certain Taken Hydras can summon Blight Bombs, as well as Teleport, Summon Oracles and Detain Guardians, or summon a circular shield like the [[Templar]], protecting it from all forms of damage, that can only be broken by the [[Aegis]].


The Taken Hydra returns in ''[[Joker's Wild]]'', and appears exclusively as a boss in the first room of [[The Reckoning]]. It possesses two shields instead of the usual one, which rotates at a faster rate than normal Hydras. It can also rapidly fire off Darkness bolts, which blind any Guardians hit by them.
The '''Taken Hydra''' is a [[Taken]] version of the [[Vex]] [[Hydra]]. They are not a common unit; each Taken Hydra is a unique enemy with its own variant abilities, sharing only the chassis, high durability, and possession of an [[Aeon Maul]].
