The Vessel of Oryx is a Hive Knight that appears as a unique enemy in the King's Fall Raid.

Gameplay

The Vessel of Oryx appears from a Tomb Ship that spawns after the brand is obtained. The Vessel must be killed to acquire the "Aura of Immortality" buff during the final confrontation with Oryx, the Taken King at Threshold. To acquire this you must steal it from the Vessel, however, the Vessel is immune to damage until the runner can grab an orb that spawns after Oryx slams a plate. Grab it, then do some platforming to power it, get to the Vessel, and steal it's Aura. Then he can be killed.

If the Vessel of Oryx is left alive at any point of the raid, it will begin to act like a Light Eater Knight by running to a random corner of the map, usually one where a bomb dropped from a Light Eater Ogre is, and consume it. This behavior change makes the Vessel's destruction among the most important tasks during the encounter.
