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]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]
