Know Your Enemy: The Vex

The Vex
"Living metal. Incomprehensible intelligence."

The Vex are architects of ancient and complex structures thought to be buried within every celestial body. Linked by a network unlike any on Earth, they operate in unison, directed by a single unfathomable purpose.














Vex Goblin
"All their joints turning together. Moving together. Towards you."

The Goblin is the basic unit in the vast computational network that is the Vex. Shattering the large, fan-shaped head does not seem to cause lasting damage, but sends the Goblin into a crackling frenzy.














Vex Hobgoblin
"The air by my cheek twanged twice, stinking of ozone, before I saw it."

The Hobgoblin is specialized for sniping — this lean, tough Vex model is fitted with improved optics and acute sensors in its horns. Like the Goblin, the Hobgoblin contains a milky radiolarian fluid. Attacking a Hobgoblin often triggers a defensive reflex — the Hobgoblin seals itself in stasis and waits for help.











Vex Harpy
"It swam back and forth through the air, spinning, the single red eye looking — I realized — for me."

The Harpy is the fastest and most mobile Vex. It is an airborne unit often deployed in flocks on patrols and scouting missions. They must stop and stabilize before attacking.













Vex Minotaur
"I thought it was at a safe distance. I was wrong."

Vex Minotaurs pack brutal heat, but most of their processing power is devoted to the physics of building massive Vex complexes, suspected to extend through multiple dimensions. Minotaur models are thicker and harder to crack than any other bipedal Vex, and they use their teleportation capability aggressively.












Vex Hydra
"Our shots dissolved in the translucent matrix around it, useless."

The Hydra is a miniature fortress. Despite its physical slowness, it is a rapid processor of the data fed to it by other Vex, and what it lacks in mobility it makes up for in impregnable defences and rock-melting fire-power.
