'''The Caretaker''' is a massive [[Scorn]] [[Abomination]] residing within Rhulk's [[Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]] in the [[Court of Savathûn]]. Empowered by [[Darkness]]-based Resonant technology from the [[Pyramid]], the Caretaker was entrusted with a collection of [[Worm|Wormspawn]] as well as other entities the [[The Witness|Witness]] and Rhulk had previously obtained to be analyzed and stored within the Pyramid. It was slain by the intrepid [[Guardian]] [[Fireteam]] that stormed the vessel.<ref name="TWID Lore">[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/twid-05-02-2024 This Week In Destiny - 05/02/2024]</ref>

The only encounter that the Guardians had with the Caretaker was in the [[Collection]] section of the Sunken Pyramid. The Caretaker is initially found at the top of a set of stairs, performing a ritual on a segment of the marble-like substance found throughout Pyramid-adjacent Throne World locations. When Guardians get into close proximity, the Caretaker looks over its shoulder to inspect the invaders, but quickly returns to its ritual. During this, it is completely immune to all interference, even passively damaging Guardians that get within extreme proximity to it and its ritual through an aura of malevolent energy.

*Reports from fireteams raiding the Sunken Pyramid mention that the Caretaker appears to have been both victim to and overseer of experiments seeking to fuse Worms and Scorn together. Multiple fireteams had also commented on what appear to be "pet" mutations that are believed to have belonged to the Caretaker. Whether these were rejected experiments or unsanctioned creations isn't known.<ref name="TWID Lore"/>

*Many of the Caretaker's Wormspawn went missing en route to the Tower's containment vaults.<ref name="TWID Lore"/>
*The Caretaker notably wears cloth that is strikingly similar to that worn by the [[Husk]]s and carries a device on its back similar to the [[Tech Pack]]s of the [[Shadow Legion]]. It may serve as the template for the Husks, considering that [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] was experimenting on [[Fallen]] and [[Hive]], meaning that it was part Scorn and part [[The Dread|Dread]].
