War Beast

War Beasts are the Cabal's frontline attack animals and military hounds used by the Red Legion.

Overview

War Beasts are feral, vicious attack animals deployed by the Red Legion in order to act as cannon fodder for their forces. These beasts are highly aggressive and will attack any enemy in sight, including Guardians.

Gameplay

In-game, War Beasts have no ranged abilities but compensate for this with their incredible speed. War Beasts will usually be deployed in numbers, and will attempt to overwhelm their enemies with sheer, animalistic force. They will attempt to flank Guardians and slash them to pieces.

Trivia

• War Beasts are the first animal enemies to ever appear in the Destiny franchise.
• 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 wear bodysuits made from War Beast scales.
