Exploder Shanks are variant of Fallen Shank.
Overview
Exploder Shanks will explode when they approach an enemy or if shot at, similar to a Cursed Thrall or a Vex Fanatic. They can be detected from their constant beeping sound, and will gather energy for a split second before detonating on their own. Thanks to their flight, they are considerably more dangerous than other suicide units.
Although these Shanks were originally from the House of Wolves, they have been seen protecting the modified Shank S.A.B.E.R.-2 in Old Russia, and modified Splicer versions protecting Aksis, Archon Prime, suggesting they are common among the Fallen Houses or have adopted the tactic.
By the time of the Red War, the newly emerged House of Dusk, and later Kell's Scourge and House of Salvation, continue to use Exploder Shanks as kamikaze troops in their battles. Their versions seem more scrapbuilt than the previous ones, sporting visible nets tethering the explosives to the Shank.
