Zydron, Gate Lord

"An enormous amount of hope and anger has been spent on a particular debate - could we find a Vex gate that opens onto a place and time before the Collapse, and somehow forestall it?"

- Grimoire description

Zydron, Gate Lord is a unique Vex Minotaur unit that protects the Endless Steps. It appears in the Eye of a Gate Lord story mission on Venus. Guardians have to bring its head to Queen Mara Sov of the Reef to wake its Eye in order to enter the Black Garden.

Overview
Zydron is larger than other Minotaurs, but it cannot teleport, has a weak spot below the chest and does not have a Void shield. Its body is black rather than the normal copper coloration. When Guardians first encounter Zydron, its body parts are separated. When engaging the Guardians, the separated body parts attach to each other and compose the full body of Zydron. According to the Grimoire, Zydron typically exists in a "liminal state," stretched between multiple gates or terminals, and only inhabits a body when the need arises.

Trivia
Gate Lords are responsible for keeping Vex realms locked out of time.
 * Zydron and Acantos are the second biggest Vex yet. Only being topped by Panoptes.
