 Members of the Hive are pale, sinewy and vaguely humanoid, with varying levels of musculature and armor. All castes lack visible eyes, although some have been seen with glowing patterns that resemble eyes. The ancient armor many of them wear has fused with their skin, becoming part of it.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/16/the-enemies-of-destiny.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 '''Game Informer''': ''The Enemies of Destiny'']</ref>  When they are killed, they ignite in a shower of dust and embers.<ref name = "GIJ2014"/> Exposure to Light causes Hive pain.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PS3, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Guardian#Ghost Fragment: Warlock 2|Ghost Fragment: Warlock 2]]''</ref>
-Several varieties of Hive exist: a roughly human-sized variant, known as a [[Thrall]], somewhat larger versions known as [[Acolyte]]s and [[Knight]]s, and a larger, airborne [[Wizard]] with elaborate armor and ornamentation. The largest Hive beast is the Ogre, which are used by the Hive as powerful engines of destruction and born from strange mating rituals combined with dark magic.
+Several varieties of Hive exist, each representing different stages of growth. Hive are born as spawn, and eventually grow into thrall. Thralls that survive into maturity become acolytes. Acolytes who have proven themselves can become Knights, who in turn may become Princes leading their own broods. Wizards are the reproductive females of the Hive; they become fertile by consuming Mother Jelly, and can reproduce with or without a mate. Ogres, meanwhile, appear to be not a stage of growth in the Hive life cycle, but a mutation brought about by Wizard rituals.
-Hive are born from pupae, much like colonial insects, and they feed on worms that they swallow whole.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Hive_2|Ghost Fragment: Hive 2]]''</ref> All are born biologically female, and gain the ability to metamorphosize into male forms and back again as they reach adulthood.
