Pagouri, Beloved by Calus

"Do you even see your enemies as you cut them down? You will see this one. I've made sure of it."

- Emperor Calus

Pagouri, Beloved by Calus is a Vex Hydra who serves as one of the weekly-rotating final bosses of The Menagerie activity. It is one of Calus' favorite specimens within his Menagerie aboard the Leviathan, where he lets it lurk in the Menagerie Depths.

Gameplay
Pagouri will reveal itself to the players before retreating to it's shield barrier. Much like Brakion, Genesis Mind, Pagouri can shoot through the shield in an attempt to eliminate any opposing Guardian. To neutralize the barrier, the team, much like Brakion, must defend any active Sync Plate. The team must also fend off any Vex belligerent, for if a Vex unit steps on the plates, then progress on the plate will be impeded. Once the shield is successfully bypassed, Pagouri will teleport to the plate that last activated. There, the team can deal damage to the boss. Pagouri can defend itself in 3 ways: with adds left alive after the Sync Plates, it's Aeon Maul, or it's Supplicants, which it will occasionally spawn to harass and eliminate any aggressor. Players will have about 40 seconds to damage the Hydra before it retreats back to it's shield. The more health lost, the more adds to deal with, especially Major Minotaurs, Harpy swarms, or Cyclopses providing overwatch for the sync plates. More health lost also means more plates to activate to draw out the Hydra. The encounter ends with the death of the boss.
