'''Shanks''' are small flying robotic drones used by the [[Fallen]]. They seem to fly using a pair of vertical jet engines, and are able to hover. Shanks are equipped with small energy weapons located on their underside. They appear to have a glowing red "eye" centered on their front. The main chassis is oval shaped, if a little boxy. A rod extends downward on either side, possibly to help stabilize the Shank, and the engines are located along the back section. Shanks are very fragile, and can be destroyed with only a few shots.<ref name="2013 E3 Demo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXTXPe7JIUk&list=HL1371050939&feature=mh_lolz E3 2013 '''YouTube''': ''Destiny Gameplay Demo'']</ref> They can be deployed from [[Devil Walker|Devil Walkers]].<ref name=E3 Demo BTS>[http://www.bungie.net/7_Building-the-Destiny-E3-Reveal/en-us/News/News?aid=10838 '''Bungie.net''': ''Building the Destiny E3 Reveal'']</ref> | '''Shanks''' are small flying robotic drones used by the [[Fallen]].
