Helium Drinkers

"The Helium Court is near us now. They are of our species, but they are our enemies. Their knights raid us every day. Helium Drinkers have two legs, two arms, and three eyes, just like us."

- Xi Ro

The Helium Drinkers are a group of proto-Hive who lived on the titanic Jovian world Fundament.

They encountered the Osmium Court as it drifted towards them, and sent raiders after them. Negotiations were one-sided as the Osmium King was growing senile and unable to lead his people; the ambassador ate ten of the King's daughters as "tribute". Taox saw them as her only option of protecting her people, and offered to betray her king in exchange for regency and engines.

The Drinkers were presumably later eradicated by Auryx, Savathûn, and Xivu Arath as part of their oath, or else incorporated into the growing Hive.
