Hand of Crota

"It crawls from the shadows to claim our Light in the name of Crota."

- Grimoire description

The Hand of Crota is a Hive Knight, and one of the targets in the Disciples of Crota Quest.

Overview
The Hand of Crota is one of the disciples of Crota, Son of Oryx, that make up his Spawn's inner circle, whose role is to be the chosen enforcer of the Hive God himself. He had previously engaged with the Hunter Sai Mota of the First Crota Fireteam, to which she lost her blades towards.

After the ritual intend for Crota's revival was thwarted by Guardians, the Hand became the target of a bounty placed by Eris Morn along with the remainder of the disciples on Earth. The Guardians lured him out of the open by killing one of his titular Servant Thralls. He was subsequently killed on the spot.

Gameplay
The Hand of Crota can be summoned in the Lunar Complex by killing a Servant of the Hand (a special Level 22 Thrall).

He can be tough for Level 30 Guardians, as he spawns in a small space on Patrol, wields a devastating Cleaver, and can withstand a Hunter's Golden Gun. The best thing to do is wait for the Golden Gun to recharge for a Hunter, hit him with a shot, and then finish him with another weapon.

An Exotic Sword can finish him off with one super attack.
