The Hydras is a type of Vex. It is a segmented machine that floats through the air to attack; each segment bears its own turret, and this robotic centipedes fires these turrets as it wriggles through the air. It also utilizes unidirectional defensive circular shields.

Overview

Hydras should be engaged with extreme caution. Not only are their circular shields impenetrable and invulnerable, they are also armed with a devastating Aeon Maul, a type of heavy Vex weaponry. These explosive, Void damage-dealing weapons are fired in rapid succession and are capable of quickly blasting away at a Guardian's shield. They will continuously bombard the player's position on the battlefield from long range and will suppress them if left alone. Even after they are killed, Hydras should still be kept at a distance, as their head will explode upon death. This explosion causes massive damage to, and can even kill, Guardians. In addition to being formidable combatants, Hydras serve as major processing nodes for the Vex network.
