At one point she was the target of a then-unnamed [[Wizard]] to feed her starving worm using her death as a tithe; an act which instantly invokes Crota's wrath only for her to escaped him and then rewarded by his [[Oryx, the Taken King|father]] whom named her [[Lokaar]] and elevated her to his [[Court of Oryx|court]].<ref>'''Bungie ((2015/9/14)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Lokaar|Lokaar]]''</ref>

===The Dark Below===
{{Quote|Omnigul's only purpose is to usher in Crota's return. If she lives, our fight against Crota's armies may never end.|Eris Morn}}
Sometime after the destruction of the [[Black Heart]], Omnigul departed from the Hellmouth for the first time in years; with word having reached [[Eris Morn]] about a plot to destroy or corrupt [[Rasputin]] at the [[Seraphim Vault]] within the [[Cosmodrome]]. <ref>''[[Destiny]]'', '''[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Ghost Fragment: Hive 3|Ghost Fragment: Hive 3]]'''</ref> She is encountered twice by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] before fleeing; the first time during the hunt for [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]] <ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], '''[[Fist of Crota]]''', PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> and again during the [[Siege of the Warmind|breach]] in Rasputin's bunker.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], '''[[Siege of the Warmind]]''', PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> Whilst it seen to have failed to destroy Rasputin, Eris speculated that Omnigul has what she sought from the Warmind.<ref>''[[Destiny]]'', '''[[Grimoire:Activities/The Dark Below#Siege of the Warmind|Grimoire:Activites/The Dark Below: Siege of the Warmind]]'''</ref>
Several months after the destruction of the [[Black Heart]], Omnigul was first sighted on [[Earth]] leading a contingent of Hive against the Fallen [[House of Devils]] before she met the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] during their hunt for [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]], fleeing the scene as they wiped both parties.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], [[Fist of Crota]]''</ref> [[Eris Morn]] confirms to [[Ikora Rey]] her departure from the Hellmouth for the first time in years; with word having reached Eris about an imminent plot to sabotage the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] and his [[Warsat]] defenses at the [[Seraphim Vault]] within the [[Cosmodrome]]. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive#Ghost Fragment: Hive 3|Ghost Fragment: Hive 3]]''</ref>


During the Hive's [[Siege of the Warmind|siege]] of Rasputin's bunker, Eris sends the Guardian to stop their advance from either destroying or corrupting the Warmind. When they reach the center of the bunker, however, Omnigul and her [[Watcher of Crota|Watchers of Crota]] ambushed them by summoning waves of Hive reinforcements directly at the Guardian. When proven ineffective, Omnigul summons the [[Might of Crota]] before escaping yet again.<ref name="Siege of the Warmind">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/The Dark Below#Siege of the Warmind|Siege of the Warmind]]''</ref> Whilst it seemed that the assault to destroy Rasputin has failed, Eris believed that Omnigul has found what she sought from the Warmind.<ref name="Siege of the Warmind">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/The Dark Below#Siege of the Warmind|Siege of the Warmind]]''</ref>
Ultimately, Omnigul's efforts at bringing back Crota would be for naught as the summoning ritual was disrupted and her forces hunted by the Guardian, until she herself was left pursued by a [[Strike]] [[fireteam]] in an attempt to raise a new army beneath [[Skywatch]]. Despite her efforts at stirring the [[House of Kings]] against the Guardians, she was finally cornered at the [[Jovian Complex]] and killed, putting an end to her schemes. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], '''[[Will of Crota]]''', Activision Blizzard''</ref>

{{Quote|Omnigul is back and it's for a reason. And it's not just to yell, although she does seem fond of that. Finish her before it's too late.|[[Cayde-6]]}}
Shortly after the [[SIVA Crisis]], Omnigul would make a brief return to [[Skywatch]] after having "undone" her death to continue her work, only to be swiftly killed again by the Guardian and their fireteam. Since Omnigul was capable of evading permanent death, [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]] remarked that the [[Vanguard]] will likely continue to face Omnigul as many times as it takes.

Following the discovery of the [[Pyramid]] beneath Luna's surface, the Hive under [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], a daughter of Omnigul and Crota, use its strange energies to create phantasm-like [[Nightmares]]. Constructing the eerie [[Scarlet Keep]] fortress near the Pyramid, Hashladûn aimed to use the Pyramid's power to exact her revenge against the Guardians for destroying her lineage. However, like her mother and father before her, Hashladûn would be defeated by the Guardians at the Scarlet Keep's highest tower.

Despite Hashladûn's death, Nightmares continued to appear across the system, with the stronger ones forming into some of the Guardians' deadliest foes, Omnigul among them. The newly formed [[Nightmare of Omnigul, Will of Crota]], representing the Essence of Anguish, would become a target in the Guardians' [[Nightmare Hunt]]s to contain the Pyramid's influences.

{{Quote|Omnigul is wicked and desperate. Keep your Light safe.|Eris Morn}}
Omnigul is the only Wizard with an [[Arc]] shield instead of a [[Solar]] shield. She can summon Hive and casts poison with greater frequency. Unlike normal Wizards, Omnigul fires her Darkness Blasts faster and more accurately than normal. However, unlike any other Ultra class enemies, she can be blinded by flashbang grenades, Ward of Dawn with the Helm of Saint-14 equipped, and the Purifier Robes.

Omnigul makes a return as the final boss of the revisited version of the strike. Just like last time, she will stay in the center of the arena and suppress [[Guardian]]s with her rapid-fire Darkness Blasts as well as cast poison clouds for area denial. However, she will have locked the door that [[Guardian]]s would normally run through for cover, trapping the players inside for the duration of the fight. The room will eventually get filled with a toxic gas that drastically slows the movement of any player that steps in it. Whenever reinforcements arrive, she will teleport away from the arena until all the reinforcements are dead. This will repeat until she herself is killed for good.

==Trivia==
*The prefix "Omni" is Latin for "all" or "every", while the suffix "gul" stands for ''rose'' in Persian and Turkish languages.<ref>'''Behind the Name''', ''[http://www.behindthename.com/name/gu12l Gül]''</ref> Gul in Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian also means ''yellow''.<ref>'''Google Translate''', ''[https://translate.google.com/#da/en/Gul Gul]''</ref> Essentially, Omnigul is the "All-yellow/All-rose". The implications this has for [[Thorn]] and [[Necrochasm]] are enormous, as [[Xyor, the Unwed]] is a [[Wizard]] belonging to the [[Spawn of Crota]].
**"Ġūl" is also Arabic for "ghoul," thus "Omnigul" may be interpreted as "all-ghoul" or "over-ghoul".
*The voice actor for [[Eris Morn]] also did Omnigul, in addition to generic Hive.<ref>'''Develop''', ''[http://www.develop-online.net/interview/meet-the-voice-behind-destiny-s-eris-morn/0201775 Meet the voice behind Destiny's Eris Morn]''</ref>
*Omnigul is known as the "Old Witch of Cuba" by the Destiny community due to a misname, and quickly became a memetic joke.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/4br6h9/new_player_and_im_a_little_lost/ '''reddit''' - ''New player and I'm a little lost'']</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/61accr/the_old_witch_of_cuba_born_this_day/ '''reddit''' - ''"The Old Witch of Cuba" Born This Day'']</ref>
*Omnigul is the only [[Major]] in the game that is a Strike boss, as she can be blinded by Flashbangs, Suppressors, Envenomed Smoke bombs, Saint-14-empowered Defender shields, Eidolon Ally, Abyss Defiant and other disorientation or crowd-control Guardian gear.

**An adjunct is something added to a whole that does not serve a necessary purpose. Being that in the final release of The Dark Below, Omnigul is Crota's most powerful and loyal lieutenant and is the mother to his swarm, this name is quite ironic.
