'''Phogoth, the Untamed''' was a massive [[Hive]] [[Ogre]] imprisoned within the [[The Summoning Pits (location)|Summoning Pits]] deep within the [[Hellmouth]] on the [[Moon]], held in its chamber by great chains.<ref name= "Out Here In The Wild">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Out-Here-in-the-Wild/en/News/News?aid=11009 '''Destiny ViDoc 2:''' ''Out Here In The Wild'']</ref>

This weak spot can be difficult to hit when Phogoth is hunched over.
==Summary==
Phogoth is described to be a product of one of the Hive's more depraved workings: a ritual of rebirth, where, unlike most Ogres — who are driven by ravenous hunger, and unbridled, nigh-uncontrollable hatred — Phogoth’s hatred and hunger is honed, and directed with purpose.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/phogoth-the-untamed?highlight=phogoth]</ref> According to [[Eris Morn]], Phogoth's purpose is purely destruction, a reminder of the threat the [[Hidden Swarm]] poses.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/regarding-phogoth-the-untamed?highlight=phogoth]</ref>


==Biography==
After it's death at the hands of the Guardians, it has risen again as a [[Nightmare]], which then the Guardians went and defeated too. According to Eris, she feels pity for it as it led an existences of servitude that it no longer wanted to live.
Raised by the Wizard [[Mormu, Xol Spawn]] of the [[Hidden Swarm]],<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Mormu,_Xol_Spawn|Mormu, Xol Spawn]]''</ref> Phogoth is described to be a product of one of the Hive's more depraved workings: a ritual of rebirth where, unlike most Ogres — who are driven by ravenous hunger, and unbridled, nigh-uncontrollable hatred — Phogoth's hatred and hunger is honed and directed with purpose.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/phogoth-the-untamed?highlight=phogoth]</ref> According to [[Eris Morn]], Phogoth's purpose is purely destruction, a reminder of the threat the [[Hidden Swarm]] poses.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/regarding-phogoth-the-untamed?highlight=phogoth]</ref> However, Phogoth was eliminated when a [[Guardian]] [[Strike|strike team]] descended into the Summoning Pits to put an end to the Ogre and the threat that it posed.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Summoning Pits]]''</ref>


Years after his death at the hands of the Guardians, Phogoth was recreated as a [[Nightmare]] by the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Lunar Pyramid]], which appeared in the Summoning Pits where the abomination had once been contained.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, [[Nightmare Hunt|Nighhtmare Hunt: Fear]]''</ref>
==Trivia==
 
*Phogoth's name is reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia:Shoggoth|shoggoth]] from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, along with the Greek word "Phobos" ("fear").
==Gameplay==
**This is also represented in ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' as the [[Nightmare of Phogoth, the Untamed|Nightmare of Phogoth]] is representing the Essense of Fear.
Phogoth is the final boss of [[The Summoning Pits]] [[Strike]] mission. When encountered by [[Guardian]]s, Phogoth breaks free from its chains and attacks, using both his brutal strength and Eye Blast to overwhelm his enemies caught in his gaze.<ref>[http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eAbpZfqE8r4 '''Official Destiny Gameplay Trailer:''' ''The Moon'']</ref> Unlike most Ogres, Phogoth's weak spot is the pulsating tumor on his chest. This weak spot can be difficult to hit when Phogoth is hunched over.
*The creature subtly resembles both ''[[Marathon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[marathongame:Drinniol|Drinniol]] and its spiritual successor, ''[http://www.halopedia.org/ Halo]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Halopedia:Sharquoi|Sharquoi]].
*Phogoth was renamed "Hive Abomination" as of '''Patch 2.4.0'''.
*Phogoth is the third biggest [[Hive]] enemy second only to [[King's Fall|Raid]] [[Golgoroth]] and [[Oryx, the Taken King]].
