Biology
Members of the Hive appear to be uniformly pale, sinewy and skeletal in appearance. 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.[5]
Several varieties exist: a roughly human-sized variant, known as a Thrall, a somewhat larger version known as Acolyte and Knight and a larger, vaguely feminine Wizard with elaborate armor and ornamentation. Judging from the "Hive" moniker, this variant may represent some leader or "queen" caste.[6]
Additionally, a Hive mini-boss, an Ogre named Phogoth appears as an objective in a mission given to players.[6]
