Precision final blows will cause them to explode, but not as powerfully as a Screeb. Ravager - Weak, melee-only Scorn that wield a flaming Solar censer, either swinging it at targets like a flail or slamming it into the ground to create an explosion due to lacking heads, their censers must be shot instead to deal precision damage.More powerful variants that ride Scorn-modified Pikes are known as Enforcers. Stalker - These resurrected Dregs wield Arc pistols and serve as the normal rank and file for the Scorn, filling similar roles in combat, but do not share the same attacks.This modifier means that killing a Stalker will spawn mini Screebs. They spawn due to the Festering Rupture modifier. This type of Scorn can only be found in the Hollowed Lair Grandmaster Nightfall. They have the same attack pattern as the normal Screeb. As the name suggests, they have a smaller body compared to normal Screeb and can sometimes even go underground. Baby Screeb - A smaller version of the Screeb.They fill a role similar to Fallen's Exploder Shanks. Their only attack is to quickly scamper up to their target and leap at them, bursting open in a powerful explosion. Screeb - The frailest type of Scorn, and can easily be identified by them scuttling around on all fours, and their naked torsos that are almost completely overtaken by Dark Ether-filled boils.Fikrul, the Fanatic - Leader of the Barons, Archon.The Scorn are organized under seven powerful Barons, with a single Archon overseeing their activities. Their leader is the Prince of the Reef Uldren Sov, the brother of the Awoken Queen Mara Sov. The Scorn are not an established House of Fallen but are considered as such due to their Baron-style leadership. Wraiths wield nothing but a pair of Solar torches they use as maces, Lurkers also wield small torches that somehow function like pistols in addition to simple metal shields, close-range Raiders utilize automatic weapons that launched sawblades soaked in Void energy - with long-ranged "sniper" ones instead wielding Linear Fusion Rifle-like weapons that are explicitly called "crossbows" - and perhaps most prominently, their Archon, Fikrul, wields an enormous staff tipped with a blue gem that can fire Arc energy. Weapons the Scorn have instead designed completely by themselves are as unflattering and mundane as almost all of their technology, appearing centuries behind the cutting-edge technology that saturates most of Destiny's setting, yet being able to contend with it nonetheless. Instead of limiting themselves to the typical Fallen arsenal, the Scorn instead wield variants of them that bear various modifications, usually appear more rugged and more dangerous, but less precise, with a more fire-orientated theme.
#THE DEFINITION OF SCORN CRACKED#
Unlike the Fallen, the Scorn do not have to wear a life support system that supplies them with Ether.Īs Scorn are almost entirely made up of reanimated Fallen carcasses, their bodies are often rotten or destroyed in places, their skin cracked to reveal disgusting blue-glowing boils filled with the corrupting "Dark Ether" that gives them life extreme cases of these mutations can be seen in Ravagers, which are completely missing their heads, yet still alive, or Abominations, who resemble Hive Ogres more than any kind of known Fallen type. Their armor is often decorated with crude spike or razorblade-like shapes, with higher-ranking Scorn having headdresses or other apparel that resembles their insignia. Rather than lightweight cloth or hide armor with the occasional bit of high-tech armor, the Scorn wear nothing but loincloths, straps, chains, and bits of scrap metal that are either rusted through or painted yellow some of their armor appears to be directly bolted to their body using metal spikes or rivets. The Scorn appear similar to Fallen, but trade their overall "space pirate" theme for more of a "wastelander" one.
