This article is about the entity. For other uses, see Echo.

Shades, also known as Echoes, are paracausal imitations or apparitions created using Darkness.

Application[edit]

Hive[edit]

In the Broodhold Strike, In Anânh, Brood Queen will reach out to Ur, the Ever-Hunger and create a Shade of herself. Other powerful Wizards, such as Ir Abassin, Broodlost, Ir Garza, Scourge of Earth and the Talons of Xivu Arath have been seen to possess similar abilities to summon a Shade or shift into a Shade Form for invulnerability.

Taken[edit]

By using the power of the Darkness, Oryx, the Taken King was able to create a Taken projection of himself in the form of the Echo of Oryx. These Echoes allowed him to enact his will remotely where he could summon and command Taken troops. Oryx's power in an area faded once an Echo was vanquished and any Taken he summoned were recalled.

Other Taken can also create artificial projections in the form of shadows, which are shadowy imitations of lesser enemies such as Shadow Thralls and Shadowbeasts.

Counterfeit Taken[edit]

Some of the Counterfeit Taken in Prophecy appear in the form of Echoes, like the Knight Echoes, Centurion Echoes, the Phalanx Echo and the Kell Echo.

Osiris' Echoes[edit]

Osiris was capable of manifesting Echoes that were stated to be reserved for Taken Kings and he exclusively used them to traverse near the core of the Sundial.^[1]

Rhulk's Echo[edit]

During Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness' Pantheon fight, he summons an Echo of himself at the beginning of phase 2 who pursues his opponents and cannot be damaged. His Echo slowly chases down a target and when in range attacks with a savage strike attack. The Echo persists through all of phase 2 and damage phase, only disappearing upon damage phase's conclusion.

-Counterfeit Taken are the Taken enemies that appear in [[The Reckoning]], [[Gambit Prime]], and the [[Prophecy]] [[Dungeon]] are not actual Taken. Instead of being living creatures corrupted by [[Darkness]], they are artificial constructs of dark matter, created from the [[Unknown Space|Nine Realms]] and its engine of pue potential, as the [[Nine]] themselves are sentient beings of dark matter. Vanguard intelligence notes that these counterfeit Taken have low counts of sterile neutrinos, typically associated with Taken, but instead have high ambient cold dark matter. This is the reason many Taken forces encountered in Nine space are all-powerful echoes in imitation of [[Likeness of Oryx|Oryx]] and his [[Likeness of Nokris|son]], in addition to a [[Cabal]] [[Phalanx Echo|Phalanx]] and a [[Fallen]] [[Kell Echo|Kell]].
-In addition, the Drifter learned to create his own counterfeit "Primeval-like" Taken from the Nine's use of pure potential; utilizing the dark matter of the Haul and through sheer force of will. One example of this is the  [[Likeness of Oryx]] as it was the scariest Hive he could think of.<ref> '''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Potential|Stolen Intelligence; Potential]]''</ref>

His Echo slowly chases down a target and when in range attacks with a savage strike attack.
