 '''Nixis, Hunger of Oryx''' is a [[Taken]] [[Captain]] who serves as the main boss of the [[Taken]] version of the [[Winter's Run]] [[Strike]] introduced in the ''[[April Update]]''.
 ==Gameplay==
-Nixis is more dangerous than his Fallen counterpart due to additional abilities. For ranged combat, he uses an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]] with great accuracy and stopping power over long distances. Guardians that gets too close will either get knocked back or killed by his Ultra Smash, in which Nixis performs a ground stomp that creates a large area-of-effect shockwave. If so willing to close the gap and use this attack, or wanting to make a withdrawal, he can rapidly teleport in unpredictable directions, throwing off the player's aim. This can make it very difficult for a Guardian to keep him pinned down in one spot.

-In addition, like [[Taken Captain]]s, Nixis can send out a Darkness Bolt that will blind and deafen Guardians that they hit, and he will summon [[Taken Blight]]s throughout the battle to get support from his minions. These blights will also disable agility and recovery for Guardians who step in them. However, like [[Aksor]], Nixis can be temporarily stunned by hard-hitting headshots from weapons like [[1000 Yard Stare]] and the [[Sleeper Simulant]], allowing the player the opportunity for a series of follow-up shots that can help whittle away at his health until he is killed.

 ==Trivia==
 *Nixis is thus far the only Taken to replace the usual final boss (in the case of Winter's Run, [[Aksor, Archon Priest]]) at the end of a Taken version of a strike. Other strikes with Taken versions, including [[Dust Palace (strike)|Dust Palace]], [[The Undying Mind (strike)|The Undying Mind]], and [[Cerberus Vae III]], replace most standard enemy encounters with Taken, but retain the same boss.
 *Nixis is the Taken version of [[Aksor, Archon Priest]].
-*Nixis' presence indicates the [[House of Winter]] tried to break out a second Archon Priest after Aksor's death and [[Skolas]]' defeat. This makes them the only House to ever attempted a break in twice, meaning the Prison's security is less than adequate.

-*Nixis' House is unknown. However, it can be inferred that he was once a [[House of Wolves|Wolf]] noble from his incarceration in the Prison of Elders.
