'''Fanatics''' are a [[Vex]] unit found in the [[Vault of Glass (raid)|Vault of Glass]] and on Vex machine worlds such as [[Nessus]]. In ''[[Destiny]]'', they are headless [[Goblin]]s that glow green, and carry a debuff called the "Mark of Negation". In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', they appear as standard Vex enemies, where they have a modified appearance and abilities.

==Overview==
All Fanatics walk with a rather disrupted, uneven gait and all are missing their left arm, from which wires can be seen to sprout. Their chassis is also seen to be scratched and damaged in various areas.  It is unknown what the true origin of Fanatics may be, but thus far they seem to be Goblins that have received such severe damage that the Vex Collective has seen no further use for them other than as a spreading vector for their infectious [[Radiolaria]]n Fluid.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
In their first appearance in the [[Vault of Glass (raid)|Vault of Glass]] [[Raid]], Fanatics resemble standard Goblins who have been decapitated, and will glow and sparkle green. Upon being destroyed, they will leave behind a green pool. Should a player step into this pool or come into contact with the Fanatic itself, they will be afflicted with the "Mark of Negation" debuff, and only have a few seconds until they are killed by the [[Templar]]'s Ritual of Negation.
In their first appearance in the [[Vault of Glass (raid)|Vault of Glass]] [[Raid]], Fanatics resemble standard Goblins who have been decapitated and deprived of their left arm, and will glow and sparkle green. They run after players, firing their rifles and detonating if they come close. Upon destruction, they will leave behind a glowing pool. Should a player step into this pool or come into contact with the Fanatic itself, they will be afflicted with the "Mark of Negation" debuff, and only have a few seconds until they are killed by the [[Templar]]'s Ritual of Negation.


In ''Destiny 2'', Fanatics will slowly advance toward the player while firing on them with their [[Slap Rifle]] and emitting glitched screams. Once they get too close (In which case they briefly glow blue) or are damaged enough, they will explode, leaving behind a pool of [[Radiolaria]] which damages those who step into it.  If killed using a [[Finisher]], they will be launched backwards with a delayed detonation, and will not leave a Radiolarian pool behind.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''Destiny 2'', they serve a similar purpose to [[Cursed Thrall]], such as exploding when a [[Guardian]] gets too close. This makes the fanatic the third kamikaze unit to appear in the Destiny series, following the Cursed Thrall and Exploder Shank.

*While Goblins, Hobgoblins and even Minotaurs can have their heads knocked off, Fanatics are the only Vex unit in the game that do not have heads to begin with.
*As a result of missing their heads, Fanatics are the only Vex without some kind of red eye.

*Strangely enough, though Fanatics leave Arc pools behind when they die, the Fanatic detonation itself deals Solar damage.
