Oryx's Body on Titan? D2 Speculation
If we take a look at Saturn's moon, Titan, in Destiny 2, even from the earliest screenshots there's some interesting things going on.
First off, there is a strange structure [url=https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3234461-screen+shot+2017-05-18+at+18.35.16.png]link[/url] that seems to be glowing on the inside. Appears to be Hive in nature, but remains to be seen as to what it truly is, since it just seems to be levitating rocks
Second, we have seen screenshots of a Hive Knight being killed on Titan. This makes it safe to assume that the Hive will be the main enemy race of Titan. Now, the strange thing about this Knight is that it has wings. The only other Hive that has or had wings was Oryx, the late god-king of the Hive.

So this got me thinking: last time we saw Oryx was when we killed him on the Dreadnaught (in the raid) and sent him floating off towards Saturn.
But what if Oryx didn't impact on Saturn? What if his body landed on Titan, one of Saturn's moons? That could possibly explain the Hive presence there, and it sort of explains the new Hive Knight's look.
If the Hive from the Dreadnaught experimented with Oryx's body on Titan, they could have become more like him, taking on his more unique physical characteristics, like his wings.
It would be very interesting to find Oryx's body on Titan, and could lead to more story surrounding the Hive. Maybe Nokris (the Hive god we know the least about) found out about Oryx's death, and came to pay tribute to Oryx's body and plot his revenge on humanity?
There is also some evidence to suggest that SIVA is actually responsible for the Hive's change in appearance.
On some screenshots you can see the SIVA diamonds mixing in with the Hive architecture seen here (the diamonds are in the top middle-right of the image, in there with Hive-like material)

Edit: added paragraph explaining SIVA's possible role in Hive's changed appearance.

4 RepliesWe've already had this post, and we came to the conclusion it was physically impossible for him to float to Titan because of gravity. He is either floating helplessly among the debris field that is saturn's rings or he burnt up upon entering saturn's atmosphere. He did not sprout a jet pack and fly to Titan.

1 ReplyCan u please circle the siva diamonds I don't see em

2 RepliesThe Hive would most likely not tamper with his body as he is a god. They would probably perform a ritual of some sort and dispose of his body.

2 RepliesEdited by Guardian5244: 6/25/2017 9:38:07 PMYou can actually see Titan from that last boss fight. It's off to the left, right next to Saturn

Maybe if Oryx is on Titan I can T-bag him like Halo taught me.

At the very least I hope it's a cool Easter egg we can find

I don't think Oryx's body ended up on Titan. However, I do believe the Hive we encounter on Titan are remnants of his brood/fleet.

If Oryx can grow wings, then other powerful Hive must be able to grow wings. For all we know this Hive Knight could've just fashioned some makeshift wings and put them on and doesn't actually have real wings

2 RepliesI can see his body floating off and falling to Saturn but I don't think he is on Titan. When he is killed the moon is nowhere in front of us, and that moon doesn't move fast enough to show up behind him before he entered Saturn. Unless they decide otherwise Saturn is not a place anyone can enter and live and so Titan was as close to Oryx as the hive could get. Perhaps the body was intercepted prior to it being lost, or the body completed many orbits around the planet before crashing to Titan. Perhaps.
