-'''Argos, Planetary Core''' was a massive [[Vex]] [[Hydra]] that was found trapped within the [[The Leviathan|Leviathan]]'s core. It was a unique [[Axis Mind]] whose size is comparable to that of [[Panoptes, Infinite Mind]]. It was the final boss of the [[Leviathan, Eater of Worlds]] [[Raid Lair]].<ref name="EoW">'''Bungie (2017/12/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Blizzard Activision, [[Leviathan, Eater of Worlds]]''</ref>

Argos' barrier quickly began to clog up the Leviathan's massive vacuum and stalled its engine.
+As [[The Leviathan]] consumed chunks of [[Nessus]] to convert into Royal Wine for the emperor,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/13)''', ''[[Destiny]], Blizzard Activision, [[Invitation from the Emperor]]''</ref> Argos was sucked into the Leviathan's belly alongside squadrons of [[Vex]], in response to which the Vex Mind generated a massive barrier surrounding it and the nearby debris from the planet. Argos' barrier quickly began to clog up the Leviathan's interior workings and stalled its engine.
-Meanwhile, a curious fireteam of Guardians stumbled their way aboard the Leviathan where they decided to branch off their natural surroundings to navigate the massive engine beneath it. Taking notice of the group of Guardians within the ship engine, [[Emperor Calus]] calls off his [[Loyalists]] and invites them to destroy the fearsome Vex mind. The raid team makes their way into the belly of the beast, where they exposed Argos from its outer casing using the cranium weapons leftover by its Vex brethren. Argos' destruction caused its barrier to dissipate and the ship's engine threatening to consume the surrounding debris, including the Guardians. Calus would intervene and transmat them to safety, to which he would promptly reward them for their tenacity in ridding his ship of the Vex.<ref name="EoW"/>

 ==Trivia==
 *The two main Vex Minds seen in the ''[[Curse of Osiris]]'' expansion, Argos and [[Panoptes, Infinite Mind|Panoptes]], were named after the same character of Greek mythology. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_Panoptes Argos Panoptes] (also transliterated as "Argus") was a many-eyed giant who worked as a guardian and spy for the Olympian gods due to his ability to see everything at any time.
-*Argos was the largest [[Hydra]] ever encountered by [[Guardian]] forces, easily among the largest Axis Minds.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCiTc3i36tg</ref>
+*Argos is the largest [[Hydra]] encountered by [[Guardian]] forces.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCiTc3i36tg</ref>
 **Argos was the third largest [[Raid]] boss, behind [[Oryx, the Taken King]], and [[Riven]].
-*It is unknown if Argos was the core of Nessus, or the core of a Vex world previously consumed by the Leviathan. If it hailed from Nessus, then its destruction likely stopped or at least temporarily halted the conversion of Nessus.
 *Argos was one of few raid bosses that had multiple encounters. Among them being [[Templar]], [[Aksis, Archon Prime]], [[Vosik, the Archpriest]], [[Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge]] and [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent]].
-*Argos had a strange translucent arrow that it stuck out of its head under its eyes that resembles a tongue. Its unknown why Argos has this as it's the only Vex seen having it.
+*Argos had a strange translucent "tongue" or tentacle that would flicker out of its head, a unique feature among Hydras seen thus far.
