"The royalty of nightmare."

— Grimoire text.

The Swarm Princes are the leaders of the Hidden Swarm; four Hive Knights who are sworn to the Hive god Crota and their commander Sardon, Fist of Crota. In the past, they created Crota's Sword and were charged with protecting it in his absence, only to be challenged by the Guardian and defeated with the very sword they made.

In Destiny 2: Forsaken, 3 of the princes return in the Dreaming City as the 4th Weeks Ascendant Challenge seen in the midst of a ritual. They are eventually slain in the same way as they were the first time.

Trivia

• Occasionally, there is a glitch were if you kill a Prince with the slam attack, they won't disintegrate, allowing the player to take a closer look at a Knight model. This was never patched out of the game.
