There are four unique such, spawning just after the Ogres, and must be killed before they prematurely detonate the blights left behind by the killed Ogres.

Trivia

• Possibly the reason why the Light-Eater Knights detonate the bombs left by the Light-Eater Ogres is that the bombs that they give contains Light, and, as said from their name, wish to consume the Light.
  • Another reason may be to prevent the Fireteam from using the Light to damage Oryx.
• The Vessel of Oryx and the Light-Eater Knights share a model, with the only difference being that the Vessel of Oryx uses a Boomer while the Light Eater Knights use Cleavers.
• The Vessel of Oryx and Light-Eater Knights are the only Hive to have pink armor.
