Hydras should be engaged with extreme caution. Not only are their circular shields impenetrable and invulnerable to attack, but they are also armed with [[Aeon Maul]], a type of Vex heavy weaponry. These explosive, [[Void]] damage-dealing weapons are fired in rapid succession and are capable of quickly blasting away at a [[Guardian]]'s shield. They will continuously bombard the player's position on the battlefield from long range and will suppress them if left alone. Even after they are killed, Hydras should still be kept at a distance, as their head will explode upon death. This explosion causes massive damage to, and can even kill, Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] | Hydras should be engaged with extreme caution.
