I've been wondering why the Dregs are lacking two of their limbs. I think that the Dregs are or used to be some type of criminal and were drafted into the Fallen military and had two of their arms amputated as a form of punishment. However, this does not explain why they have the coverings over their missing arms so this may be suggesting that the Fallen have qualities that allow them to regrow limbs similar to the way some reptiles do. If this is true then the Dregs might not just be criminals but they could also be Fallen who had signed up willingly and the amputation of limbs is just a way to show lower class throughout the military. What do you guys think?

Edited by MuchStache: 6/21/2013 7:03:00 AMI have two ideas about the Dregs: 1- Young Fallen who didn't still fully grow the additional two arms, the two growing limbs are covered to not let them receive any kind of damage that would alter their growth. 2- Fallen have a caste based upon genetic supremacy. The Fallen that are "a step behind" in the evolution are the Dregs, which can't fully grow the other two arms (which they keep covered for shame or purely for protection). At the top of the chain we find captains and "bosses" like Rixis, Archon Slayer (Obviously we don't know whether they are just "war beasts" or they actually have a rank) which have 4 arms and are physically more powerful than the other sub-species. Also, I hope Bungie will give us the real names of the species like they did in Halo eheh (Vex can stay as they are, it sounds cool and alien-ish)
