Although she did not have the power to Take herself, after her brother's death, Savathûn would use Quria, a Taken [[Vex Mind]] which was gifted to her by her brother, to paracausally simulate Oryx and thereby create and command her own Taken. Xivu Arath relies on complex, lengthy rituals, sometimes using remnants of Oryx's power, to create new Taken, though most of hers are believed to have been created by the Witness. Other, less immediate methods of Taking involve the use of [[Blight]]s. The Disciples have not been seen to create new Taken. | Although she did not have the power to Take herself, after her brother's death, Savathûn would use Quria, a Taken [[Vex Mind]] which was gifted to her by her brother, to paracausally simulate Oryx and thereby create and command her own Taken.

Taken versions of enemies have radically different behaviors from their standard counterparts, including new abilities designed to counter Guardian abilities.
