Trivia

• It's unknown what Hive deity spawned the Hidden Swarm, as none of the known gods have been referenced to giving birth to this brood.
  • Its most likely that they serve the Hive god Crota, as their commanders all follow Sardon, Fist of Crota.
  • Because of this, the Hidden Swarm is the only Hive brood besides the Cult of the Worm that has no main god leading or breeding the brood.
