{{Quote|[[The Guardian|You]] bring weapons. You will not need them. We offer only truth.|The Io Pyramid}}
'''The Io Pyramid''' is the name used to a massive alien vessel holding position above the [[Cradle]] on [[Io]]. Like its [[Pyramid (Luna)|counterpart]] on [[Moon|Luna]], this vessel is a part of the [[Pyramids|aforementioned fleet]] that attacked the [[Sol System]] during the [[Collapse]], and are fragments of the [[Darkness]]. This vessel acted as a vanguard for 3 other [[Pyramids]] that arrived across the Sol System shortly after it. [[Asher Mir]] theorized that the Pyramid arrived on Io to study the [[Vex]]. 

==Overview and layout==
Like its brethren, the outside of the Pyramid's hull is covered in segmented panels that vary in pattern, with some having vertical lines and others with patterns resembling circuitry. Much like the [[Traveler]], the surfaces of the Pyramid seem to be composed of some form of rock-like material, occasionally having an uneven or chiselled appearance, giving the ship an almost handcrafted quality. In contrast to its Moon counterpart, the Io Pyramid is rougher in appearance, suggesting more wear and tear to its hull.

The Pyramid can be accessed by an opening along its lower hull. Unlike its Moon counterpart, it is unknown if there is a habitable interior within, but the Pyramid's attempt to pull the Guardian into itself suggests there possibly is one. It is constantly firing a tractor beam underneath its hull that is corrupting the [[Tree of Silver Wings (Io)|Tree of Silver Wings]] with [[Darkness]] energy.

==History==
===Season of Arrivals===
Following the destruction of the [[The Almighty|Almighty]], the Io Pyramid began to make a move on Io, as its approach was immediately flagged by [[Rasputin]]. The Warmind attempted to neutralize the Pyramid with his [[Warsat]] network, seemingly achieving victory as the Pyramid disappeared from his radar. Rasputin's victory was short-noted however, as the Pyramid reappeared instantly on the radar, before completely wiping out Rasputin's systems and disabling his core.

The Io Pyramid then arrived on top of the [[Cradle]], pushing the [[Vanguard]] to send the [[Guardian]] to investigate. Upon the Guardian's approach, the Io Pyramid initiated a gravity lift as the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] had done before, where it began to speak to the Guardian and expand upon what it had said on the [[Moon]], before suddenly being cut off by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]], as she sent the Guardian spiralling into her Court through a portal, where they eventually escaped.

Weeks after, the Pyramid deeply corrupted the [[Tree of Silver Wings (Io)|Tree of Silver Wings]] within the Cradle, as [[Eris Morn]] and the [[Guardian]] collaborate to intercept and interpret the Pyramid's messages using the [[Seed of Silver Wings]]. It also deployed a large force of Pyramid Scales out to survey Io's surface, to presumably prepare it for terraforming.

Upon defeating [[Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn]], the Pyramid on Io finally pulled the Guardians inside, telling them there is [[Stasis|an ancient power]] deep beneath the surface of [[Europa]] and that it must be embraced, displaying each race with a shadow of a Pyramid, with one shadow lingering over the [[Fallen]].

==Trivia==
*The Io Pyramid is the second known Pyramid encountered by the [[Guardian]]s.
