'''Haroktha, Scourge of the Helium Drinkers''' is a [[Hive]] [[Knight]] of [[Xivu Arath's Horde]]. Haroktha was tasked with commanding the Hive of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] and [[Fallen]] of [[House of Salvation|House Salvation]] forces aboard the [[Seraph Station]] as a means of taking control of it alongside [[Praksis, the Technocrat|Praksis the Defiled]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/20)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Operation: Seraph's Shield]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
Haroktha is initially encountered halfway through [[Operation: Seraph's Shield]], responding to the noise caused by [[The Guardian]]. It will fight for a few moments before summoning Fallen reinforcements and [[Warbringer Brig]]s and leaving the player to them.

The Maw of Xivu Arath returns for a proper battle later in the mission, in a smaller room. Haroktha uses a [[Boomer]] as their main weapon, can launch [[Acolyte Grenade|Solar Mortar]] grenades, conjure Clouds of Darkness, protect itself with a wide Darkness Barrier, and strike foes with an area melee attack. Often, they will enrage and rush towards the player with their gun raised to strike them in melee. In addition, hordes of [[Acolyte]]s will constantly appear in the room, leaving little time to breathe. That said, Haroktha uses no immunity mechanics in this battle and can be slain with concentrated fire.

==Trivia==
*Judging by their name, they were involved with the destruction of the [[Helium Drinkers]], a fellow Krill nation that neighboured the [[Osmium Court]] on [[Fundament]].
**Adding to this, they were potentially one of the first few who still remember their life before becoming a Hive.
*Considering his potentially immense age, his role as a general and the fact that he possesses a similar body structure to the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] and the same bodypaint it's possible that Haroktha is also an [[Ascendant Hive]].
*Haroktha is referred to as the "Maw of Xivu Arath" in the gameplay text when they summon House Salvation forces.
