'''Wretches''' are a class of [[Fallen]] warrior, introduced in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.

==Overview==
Wretches are two-armed, spear-wielding Fallen. These brave, or desperate, Fallen warriors are armed with [[Arc Spear]]s, which they are sent to use in melee despite their frailty. Other than their weapon, they can be distinguished from [[Dreg]]s by their enclosed helmets. The rank seemingly existed at the time of the [[Dark Age]],<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] - [[Corridors of Time Part 1]]''</ref> though it fell out of use before being restored with the rise of the [[House of Dusk]]. After their reappearance, they were employed by the other Fallen groups of the Solar System.

==Gameplay==
Wretches are melee cannon fodder troops, and take the place of dual [[Shock Dagger]] Dregs in ''Destiny 2''. They rush into combat brandishing their spears, attempting to both slice and electrocute their targets. They can do many attacks with these weapons, with simple stabs, spinning slices and rushing overhead strikes. Their length also gives them a longer reach than other melee units. However, their attacks have a long wind up time and they are very weak. As cannon fodder combatants, they can often die to a single melee attack.

==Trivia==
*Wretches bear a striking resemblance to the Pfhor Fighters from ''[[Wikipedia:Marathon (video game)|Marathon]]'', who also wielded spears.
*They seem to be a rank between Dreg and Vandal, or some sort of elite Dreg class, due to them having two arms like the Dregs
*In a panel of the [[Destiny: Warmind (comic)|Warmind]] #3 comic, a Wretch can be seen in [[House of Devils]] colors despite no Wretches appearing in-game during the time of the House of Devils' existence.<ref> https://www.destinypedia.com/images/5/5d/Warmind-3-twilight-gap.jpg?7a122 </ref>
