{{Quote|You are a Vandal. You slip through life like a thief. Trying to hide from everything greater than you — lest you be reduced, again, to a dreg. You have been taken. ''[…]'' You have no space to call your own. You deserve a place of safety. You deserve to be alone with yourself. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like ''[this place is mine]''. Take up the knife. Make it your companion. Take your new shape.|[[Grimoire]] description}}<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/The Taken|The Taken]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/The Taken#Taken Vandal|Taken Vandal]]''</ref>
The '''Taken Vandal''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Fallen]].

==Gameplay==
Taken Vandals have gained the ability to summon a spherical shield similar to [[Ward of Dawn]]. This shield heals enemies inside and allows them to shoot out but not in. The shield only lasts a few seconds, but it is enough to disrupt one's flow of combat. Their weapons consist of either a [[Solar]] [[Wire Rifle]] or an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]]. Taken Vandals are unusually accurate with their Wire Rifles. Still, they are not very resilient, are less agile than their normal counterparts, especially if compared in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', and have a more limited arsenal. Their shields can also be shot through using [[Champion|Anti-Barrier]] effects, and if they can be tricked into using them while the player is close, they can be used as temporary covers.
