Riddle of Rho

You might have seen me, waiting in the dark. My name is ancient. If I existed before, it is not in this form. My body is sleek, yet rough. Do not be fooled by my beauty, though. I will pick you off, one by one, until none remain. But until death comes to all, I will remain hidden. Are you prepared to do what it takes? [b]Hint 1:[/b] Don't let my appearance blind you. My eye can see far and wide, much more than my brothers and sisters. [b]Hint 2:[/b] My face is legendary, but at the same time never spoken of. My eyes are shining, not unlike the place where I reside. [b]Hint 3:[/b] H3AD X HUNT3R was right, to an extent. Though the answer isn't necessarily Greek, I think it just might begin with an R (maybe not the first word, though) [b]Hint 4:[/b] I have three forms. One is quite ancient, and you have probably never seen. One you have probably found quite early in your adventures. One has yet to exist [b]Winners:[/b] Awesome JZ and Unit215 [b]Answer:[/b] The Jade Rabbit [b]Explanation:[/b] [spoiler][i]You might have seen me, waiting in the dark.[/i] The emblem can be found in the caves on the Moon. [i]My name is ancient.[/i] The Jade Rabbit comes from an old Chinese tale. [i]If I existed before, it is not in this form.[/i] The scout rifle has existed as a legend and an emblem. [i]My body is sleek, yet rough.[/i] The scout rifle is sleek, but the image of the Jade Rabbit on the moon (look it up) is rough. [i]Do not be fooled by my beauty, though. I will pick you off, one by one, until none remain.[/i] Though the rifle looks cute and harmless, it is a dangerous tool in the Crucible. [i]But until death comes to all, I will remain hidden. Are you prepared to do what it takes?[/i] Until everyone gets the 4th Horseman (death), the Jade Rabbit will be unobtainable. Are you willing to pay $40 for the expansion? [i]Don't let my appearance blind you. My eye can see far and wide, much more than my brothers and sisters.[/i] Though it doesn't look it, the rifle has a sniper-like scope, unlike other scout rifles. [i]My face is legendary, but at the same time never spoken of. My eyes are shining, not unlike the place where I reside.[/i] The face of the emblem is purple (like a legendary) and the eyes are gold, like the chest where you find it. [i]I have three forms. One is quite ancient, and you have probably never seen. One you have probably found quite early in your adventures. One has yet to exist[/i] One Jade Rabbit is from a Chinese legend, one is an emblem found on the moon, one is a scout rifle that comes in the Taken King.[/spoiler]

  • Ok folks, ill attempt to help by giving a potential clue. Thsi is the "Riddle of Rho". Rho is the ancient greek letter for P, but it looks like an R. If this guy put as much thought into this as i think, thats intentional. Three potential hints right there Greek, and starts with either P or R (or maybe even both)
