::Because for one Taking the Hive would cripple his tribute line. Thrall kills go to the Acolytes; that and the Acolyte kills go to the Knight or Wizard, and they pass ''that'' to the Ascendant Hive, who then pass it up to the Hive god who rules them. Oryx basically owns a food delivery service. Not only that but the Taken are his direct servants and anything they kill goes directly to him, because they are in effect '''him'''. This hurts him in a way because his worm will demand more and more tribute, which grows exponentially with each mighty feat; eventually his outtakes will exceed his intakes. So the Hive tribute system is the only thing keeping Oryx alive, and we Guardians inadvertently discovered that when we killed Crota, forcing him to literally drop everything out of vengeance and come to kill us. Had he been more cold-blooded Oryx would have stalled his invasion, building up an army from whatever the hell he was doing, and then come to attack us. Check the [[Noru'usk, Servant of Oryx]] Grimoire card for that. [https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/4zfn3p/why_doesnt_oryx_take_allmost_of_the_hive/ Read this] for more information.

==Size==

I did some research and the Dreadnaught is about one third of the size of Earth! For reference, I started out by looking at the picture of the Dreadnaught and the hole it makes in Saturn's rings.The hole is roughly 1/6 the width of the ring system. The Dreadnaught itself appears to be roughly 1/3 the size of the hole. I found out that the rings of Saturn are 72,000 km across. (In radius, not diameter.) So, at 1/18 that size, the Dreadnaught is something like 4,000 km long. That's gigantic! It's about 1/3 the width of the Earth, and considerably longer than the Moon! And that's just one part of Akka's corpse! And with how stiff it looks, He was probably much bigger than that! Maybe even bigger than Earth! And he was a flippn' dragon! His wingspan (if he had wings. If not he would be a drake or a Chinese Serpent.) could have been bigger than Mars! We are truly dealing with a massive threat!
