'''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>
 
==Biography==
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>
 
==Gameplay==
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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Phogoth somewhat resembles both ''[[Wikipedia:Marathon (video game)|Marathon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[marathongame:Drinniol|Drinniol]] and its spiritual successor, ''[http://www.halopedia.org/ Halo]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Halopedia:Sharquoi|Sharquoi]].
*Phogoth is the second biggest [[Hive]] enemy, second only to [[Oryx, the Taken King]].
*Phogoth was renamed "Hive Abomination" as of '''Patch 2.4.0'''.
**However the name Phogoth would stay as this beast's canon name as his [[Nightmare]] would retain the name Phogoth.
*Phogoth's name is reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia:Shoggoth|shoggoth]] from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, along with the Greek word "Phobos" ("fear").
