Taken Hydra

The Taken Hydra is a Taken Hydra that keeps its Aeon Maul but loses the Hydra's protective semi-circular shield, making it vulnerable to ranged attack and reliant on its support troops for overall protection. It also detonates if a Guardian gets to close, much like The Undying Mind. Certain Taken Hydras can summon Blight Bombs, as well as Teleport, Summon Oracles and Detain Guardians, or summon a circular shield like the Templar, protecting it from all forms of damage, that can only be broken by the Aegis.
