'''Poukas'''<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/Lightfall '''Bungie.net''' - '''Lightfall''']</ref> are small airborne fish-like entities native to the [[Neptune|Neptunian]] city of [[Neomuna]].


==Overview==
==History==
Pouka seem to be primarily composed of a flowing quicksilver-like substance that resembles Neomuni nanotechnology, suggesting that they may be creations of the Neomuni themselves. The nanotechnology contained within [[Quicksilver Storm]] identifies [[Elisabeth Bray]]'s pouka by its species, specifically it being a juvenile, further indicating the Neomuni's familiarity with them.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - Item Description: [[Quicksilver Storm#Lore|Quicksilver Storm]]''</ref>.
The origins of the Pouka remain unclear; they appear to native to Neomuna, and have a close relationship with the people of the city. They appear to be primarily composed of a flowing quicksilver-like substance that resembles Neomuni nanotechnology, suggesting that they may be creations of the Neomuni themselves. The nanotechnology contained within [[Quicksilver Storm]] identifies [[Elisabeth Bray]]'s pouka by its species, specifically it being a juvenile, so this may hint towards pouka being a native species or creation of the Neomuni thanks to this foreknowledge.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Weapons|Weapon lore]]: [[Quicksilver Storm]]''</ref>.


One ability of Pouka is their capacity to dredge up memories within a being, in an attempt to communicate with them. [[Elisabeth Bray]] discovered this capacity after spending time with a Pouka she discovered on a space station. The first word heard within each of the memories brought forth by the Pouka communicated its feelings towards [[Tokki]] and Elsie parting ways, but the rest of the memories that came after that first word shook Elsie to the point of crying. It was only after the Pouka brought up memories of the words "concern" and "satisfaction", upon the Pouka trying to comfort her and being accepted, did Elsie realise this capacity of Pouka. Elsie used this capacity of her companion Pouka to probe previous loops she had gone through to understand how she could obtain and control Stasis, so she could teach the power to others, to avoid further Dark Futures.<ref>'''[[Bitter]]'''</ref>

*The origin of the word "pouka" may lie in two things. It may either originate from a proto-Slavic word for "moral"<ref>[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0 поука definition]</ref>, or a spirit that brings various fortunes, from Celtic myth and legend.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%BAca Púca]</ref>
