Praetorians are champions of the Vex that can be encountered during the Vault of Glass. They are deadlier and more aggressive variants of the Minotaur, charged with protecting the legendary Vault.
During the Wolves' Gambit mission, Praetorians variants called Headless Praetorians can be found attempting to fight off the Wolves that guard the Vault's entrance.
Gameplay
Praetorians have reinforced Void shields and always use the standard Minotaur weapon, the Torch Hammer.

More are encountered while facing the Gatekeeper, and will again attempt to reset nearby Sync Plates. In the Destiny 2 version of the encounter, Praetorians will spawn with Immune Shields that can only be destroyed with the Aegis.
