The '''Worms''' are an ancient, parasitic worm-like species aligned with the [[Darkness]].
The '''Worms''' are an ancient, parasitic worm-like species aligned with [[The Witness|the Witness]] and its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]], [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]].


==Overview==
==Overview==
The Worms are servants of the [[Darkness]] and draw their power directly from it. It is through a pact with the Worms that the proto-[[Hive]] or "Krill" became what they are today and launched their conquest of the universe. The Worms are worshipped and revered as the Hive's highest deities, beyond even [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and his sisters [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]] and [[Xivu Arath, God of War]]. All Hive are bound symbiotically with a larva farmed from [[Xita, the Nurturing Worm|a mother Worm]], which drives them to feed off constant conquest and destruction lest the Worm grow unsatisfied and consume them instead.<ref name="Bargain"/>

==History==
===The Ancient Past===
===The Ancient Past===
While the ultimate origins of the Worms are unknown, the Lore Book ''[[Lore:Unveiling|Unveiling]]'' seems to indicate they may be as old as the universe itself. According to ''Unveiling'', in the primordial state before time or the universe began, entities existed which derived sustenance from the gradient between "what was and what might be." When the Light and Darkness fought with one another and inadvertently created the universe, these entities escaped into the new reality. This may hint at the origins of the Worms, which continue to base their existence on the difference between actual and possible realities.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Unveiling]]: [[Lore:Unveiling#Gardener_and_Winnower|Gardener and Winnower]]''</ref>
As revealed by [[Ahsa]] to Deputy Commander [[Sloane]], the Worm Gods originated from a "proto-Worm" species that lived on the gas giant planet [[Fundament]] eons ago; it is unknown whether they were native to the planet, or whether, like the proto-Hive species known as the Krill, they arrived there from elsewhere.<ref name= "Siocháin's Scuba Shell">'''Bungie (2022/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - Ghost Shell lore: [[Síocháin's Scuba Shell]]''</ref>


As revealed by [[Ahsa]] to Deputy Commander [[Sloane]], the Worm Gods originated from a "proto-Worm" species that lived on the gas giant planet [[Fundament]]; it is unknown whether they were native to the planet, or whether, like the proto-[[Hive]] species known as the Krill, they arrived there from elsewhere. The proto-Worms led a peaceful existence, but at some point they became seduced by the Witness' philosophy, and began attacking and killing one another in order to achieve supremacy through the Sword Logic. As they warred amongst themselves, they called upon the Darkness and used it as a weapon against each other, an act once considered unthinkable among their kind.
===Subjugation to the Witness===
At some point the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] known as [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] desired the power of the worms on behalf of his master, the [[The Witness|Witness]], which he would delve into the depths of the gas giant to find them; meeting and grievously injuring the Leviathan in the process.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Gauntlets|Resonant Fury Gauntlets]]''</ref> Upon meeting the emaciated Xita and her kin, Rhulk offered her kind a deal to serve as chattel for his master in exchange for providing a [[Hive|race]] of hosts for her spawn to feed as sustenance; giving their kind a purpose in aid of their [[Final Shape|righteous cause]]. The Worm mother capitulated to his demands as he abducts her out of their prison; earning him the respect of all the worms addressing him as "Subjugator"<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Helm|Resonant Fury Helm]]''</ref> and "Worm father".<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Preservation]]''</ref>


Many of the proto-Worm species died in the planet-wide bloodbath that ensued, with Ahsa being the only individual known to have successfully escaped Fundament and traveled to a different star system. The being known as the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]], which figured prominently in the legends of the Krill, is presumably another survivor of the massacre, one which chose to remain aligned with the Light.
Despite the Subjugator's earlier claims to be on his master's behalf, it was apparent to Xita that Rhulk had only sought the worms out of his own personal desire for domination and was constantly chided by the Witness for stepping out of line. The Disciple would fulfill his earlier deal to the Worm mother and engineered from her body a parasitic strain of living worm segments, their so-called "larvae", which could be implanted into a host and give them access to the Sword Logic. He would then set those parasitic larvae adrift on Fundament's ocean, eager to reach the shores of the [[Osmium Court|Osmium Kingdom]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Greaves|Resonant Fury Greaves]]''</ref>


Through unknown means, others among the proto-Worms underwent a transformation, becoming the powerful Darkness-aligned beings known as the Worm Gods. Six of these beings - [[Yul]], [[Eir]], [[Akka]], [[Xol]], [[Ur]], and their mother [[Xita]] - became trapped in the core of Fundament, where they remained for untold eons under the watchful eye of the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]].<ref name="Bargain"/>
As a result of this deal they became seduced by temptation of the killing logic; their kind began slaughtering each other to achieve apotheosis through its tenets. As they warred amongst themselves, the strongest of their kind became paracausally bound to the Sword Logic and its forbidden magics linked to the [[Darkness]], or as they termed it "the Deep". Many of these proto-Worms died in the planet-wide bloodbath that ensued, with Ahsa being the only known individual known to have successfully escaped Fundament and traveled to a different star system.<ref name= "Siocháin's Scuba Shell"/> Of all the proto-Worms left after the species-wide genocide [[Xita, the Nurturing Worm]] and her five kin survived, evolving into even stronger lifeforms known as the Worm Gods, having mastered the Sword Logic. However, they would be left imprisoned by the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]], a massive creature that served as an later ally of the [[Light]]-wielding [[Ammonite]]s and acolyte to the [[The Traveler|Traveler]], in the core of Fundament for an unknown amount of time beneath its watchful eye.{{Citation needed}}


===Servitude to the Witness===
===Ascension of the Hive===
During the Worm Gods' imprisonment, the [[Disciple]] known as [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] swam into the depths to find them, in the process meeting and grievously injuring the Leviathan. Rhulk convinced the Worm Gods to serve as pawns of the [[Witness]] by utilizing their parasitic nature to control and corrupt lesser beings, furthering the ultimate goals of the [[Darkness]] as understood by the Witness and its Disciples. To facilitate this, Rhulk engineered a strain of miniature versions of the Worm Gods, their so-called "larvae", which could be implanted into a host. Rhulk then left the Worm Gods alone to be found by prospective hosts, in the process abducting their sixth member and mother, [[Xita]], as collateral and in order to breed more larvae.
One of their larvae eventually washed up on the shore of the Osmium Court, where it was found by the Krill [[Osmium King]] and taken as his familiar. From the white dead worm, the Witness echoed whispers to the king of a syzygy that would end all life on Fundament. Larvae in hand, the king gradually descended into madness in apocalyptic fear of the Traveler, which only escalated upon sighting of the actual entity as [[Taox]] and the other Krill conspired to end the insane king.<ref name="Resonant Fury Plate">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Plate|Resonant Fury Plate]]''</ref>


One of their dead larvae eventually washed up on the shore of the [[Osmium Court]], where it was found by the proto-Hive [[Osmium King]] and taken as his familiar. Following the Osmium King's murder by the [[Helium Drinkers]], his daughter [[Sathona]] took it from him as she, [[Aurash]], and [[Xi Ro]] fled the Court. The dead worm spoke to Sathona, and through her guided the three sisters in their quest for vengeance.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#IV:_Syzygy|IV: Syzygy]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#V:Needle_and_Worm|V: Needle and Worm]]''</ref>

Eventually, the worm led the sisters into the depths of Fundament, to the domain of the Worm Gods, who tempted them with power and immortality in exchange for becoming parasitized by their larvae.<ref name="Bargain"/> The sisters accepted, taking on the names Auryx, Savathûn, and Xivu Arath. Acting in concert with the Worm Gods, they took more larvae back to the surface in order to offer the rest of their species the same bargain.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#X:_Immortals|X: Immortals]]''</ref> Those who refused to accept were killed by the emergent Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XII:_Out_of_the_Deep|XII: Out of the Deep]]''</ref>

The Worm Gods oversaw the Hive's conquest of Fundament, providing knowledge, orders, and censure to their leaders as necessary. When the war freed the Worm Gods from Fundament's core, they responded by opening a wormhole into geostationary orbit, allowing the Hive to invade Fundament's moons and the [[Ammonite]] civilization that dwelled there.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XIII:_Into_the_Sky|XIII: Into the Sky]]''</ref> The Hive eventually exterminated the Ammonite and slew the Leviathan. [[Eir]] and [[Yul, the Honest Worm|Yul]] consumed their captor's corpse.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XIX:_Crusaders|XIX: Crusaders]]''</ref> After this, the Worm Gods withdrew to the [[Ascendant Realm]] and generally left the Hive alone.

Auryx would later seek out and slay Akka for the knowledge to commune directly with the Darkness. He returned as Oryx, the Taken King. <ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXVIII:_King_of_Shapes|XXVIII: King of Shapes]]''</ref> However, Akka remained active in some fashion and battled Oryx following the events of the [[Golden Amputation]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVI:_Eater_of_Hope|XXXVI: Eater of Hope]]''</ref> At some point Oryx recovered a fragment of Akka's shell and used it to craft his [[Dreadnaught]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XLI:_Dreadnaught|XLI: Dreadnaught]]''</ref>

Sometime after the death of Akka, Yul began to contemplate taking the power from the weakest of the four remaining Worms, in order to withstand any future attacks by [[Oryx]]. Knowing himself to be vulnerable, [[Xol|Xol, Will of the Thousands]] made a pact with Oryx's abandoned son, [[Nokris]], to flee Fundament and seek new worlds to conquer together.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46779 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny 2 Narrative Preview'']</ref>

A long-standing [[Vex]] incursion in Oryx's throne world eventually drew the attention of the Worm Gods. Eir commanded him to ''"SET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER"''.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXIX:_open_your_eye:_go_into_it|XXXIX: open your eye: go into it]]''</ref>

===Warmind===
===The Collapse===
Many years later, upon the frozen ice caps of Mars, Xol's physical form would perish at the hands of the Guardians, along with his [[Nokris|herald]]. As with Akka before him, Xol transcended death and would go on to present himself to a group of Taken on Io, who offered him worship and service. After [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] proved themselves to Xol, he drew upon his power through the [[Sword Logic]], transforming himself into the [[Whisper of the Worm]].
At least one of the Worm Gods, Xol, was present in the Sol System during the Collapse, having traveled to [[Mars]] alongside Nokris and [[Grasp of Nokris|his followers]] with the intent of conquering the planet for themselves. They would engage in battle with [[Rasputin]] at [[Hellas Basin]], which had ended when the [[Warmind]] invoked his SIBERIAN ENTROPY protocol and flash-froze Xol, Nokris and their entire army in a layer of ice.
 
===''Warmind''===
Centuries after the Collapse, Xol's physical form would perish on Mars at the hands of the Guardians, along with his herald. As with Akka before him, Xol transcended death and would go on to present himself to a group of Taken on Io, who offered him worship and service. After [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] proved themselves to Xol, he drew upon his power through the Sword Logic, transforming himself into the [[Whisper of the Worm]].
 
===''The Witch Queen''===
During Rhulk's battle against a team of six Guardians who had invaded his Pyramid, he drew upon Xita's power to charge the Upended, seeking to activate the weapon and destroy [[Court of Savathûn|Savathûn's Throne World]]. After he was defeated, Xita remained motionless underneath the Upended, seemingly dead or catatonic.
 
After it was removed from her body, Savathûn's [[Savathûn's Worm|Worm symbiote]] was kept by Mara Sov, who promised it a new host in exchange for information about Savathûn's role in the Collapse. The Worm assumed Mara herself would become its new host, but instead Mara placed the Worm inside a [[Parasite|weapon]] that would keep it alive and allow it to feast on the destruction generated by the Guardian.
 
===''Season of the Deep''===
Following Titan's reappearance after previously having been Taken by the Witness, the Vanguard made contact with Ahsa, an ancient proto-Worm who had been hiding on Titan since the Golden Age.


==Biology==

Worms exist in two forms: massive, serpentine beings known as [[Worm God]]s, and smaller parasitic "larvae" that can live within the bodies of other beings. It is not clear whether Worm larvae are in fact immature Worms, with Worm Gods being the adult form, or if they are wholly separate from the Worm Gods' life cycle; [[Xita, the Nurturing Worm]] states that "larvae" is a term used by [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]], and describes her larvae as "segments" of herself.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/resonant-fury-greaves#resonant-fury-suit-titan</ref>

The Worms are a parasitic species, entering into symbiotic relationships with other sentient races in order to amass greater power for themselves. Their larvae can inhabit the bodies of other beings, such as those of their servant race the [[Hive]], and feed off the power acquired by their hosts through following the [[Hive#Sword-Logic|Sword-Logic]]. If a larva is separated from their host, it can become volatile and can potentially detonate if it is not continually fed. Worm larvae are pale and about a meter in length, with rounded heads, six short spines on their back, and two spines at the end of their tail. Larger variants of Worm larvae can be found within the [[Harvest|Worm breeding facility]] located within [[Savathûn's Throne World]], possibly a result of experimentation by Rhulk.

Worm Gods are vastly larger in size than larvae and live outside of a host. They appear to vary greatly in size, with [[Xol]], the first of the five Worm Gods encountered by the Guardians, being hundreds of meters in length, and [[Xita, the Nurturing Worm]] being far bigger, spanning potentially miles in length and hundreds of feet in height. Fully grown Worms are covered with segmented plates and numerous spines, and have heads with six barbed mandibles surrounding glowing eye-like structures. Notably, the Worm God [[Yul]] describes himself as having wings, while Xol and Xita were not seen to possess wings.

They appear to vary greatly in size, with Xol, the first of the five Worm Gods encountered by the Guardians, being hundreds of meters in length, Xita being kilometers in length and hundreds of meters in height, and Akka having seemingly been the size of a small celestial body based on the size of the Dreadnaught Oryx had made from a piece of his body. All Worm Gods seen thus far are covered with segmented plates and numerous spines and have heads with six barbed mandibles surrounding glowing eye-like structures. Notably, the Worm God Yul describes himself as having wings, while Xol and Xita were not seen to possess wings.


==Worm Gods==
Ahsa, a "proto-Worm" encountered on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], differs greatly in appearance from the Worm Gods, having smooth bluish-grey skin rather than armor plates, and normal-looking eyes on the side of her head as opposed to the glowing green "eyes" within the mouths of the Worm Gods. These differences are likely accounted for by the transformation undergone by the Worm Gods after they became seduced by the Witness.

"Take into your bodies our children, our newborn larvae. From them you shall obtain eternal life. From them you shall gain power over your own fragile flesh: the power to make of it as you will. And should you find an imperfection in the world, an injustice or an inconvenience — you will have the power to repair it. Let no mere law bind you."
— Yul[1]

The Worms are an ancient, parasitic worm-like species aligned with the Witness and its Disciple, Rhulk.

Overview

The Worms are servants of the Witness who draw their Darkness powers directly from the Sword Logic that it had introduced to its progenitors. It is through a pact with the Worms that the proto-Hive or "Krill" became what they are today and launched their conquest of the universe. The Worms are worshipped and revered as the Hive's highest deities, beyond even Oryx, the Taken King and his sisters Savathûn, the Witch-Queen and Xivu Arath, God of War. All Hive are bound symbiotically with a larva farmed from a mother Worm, which drives them to feed off constant conquest and destruction lest the Worm grow unsatisfied and consume them instead.[1]

History

The Ancient Past

As revealed by Ahsa to Deputy Commander Sloane, the Worm Gods originated from a "proto-Worm" species that lived on the gas giant planet Fundament eons ago; it is unknown whether they were native to the planet, or whether, like the proto-Hive species known as the Krill, they arrived there from elsewhere.[2]

Subjugation to the Witness

At some point the Disciple known as Rhulk desired the power of the worms on behalf of his master, the Witness, which he would delve into the depths of the gas giant to find them; meeting and grievously injuring the Leviathan in the process.[3] Upon meeting the emaciated Xita and her kin, Rhulk offered her kind a deal to serve as chattel for his master in exchange for providing a race of hosts for her spawn to feed as sustenance; giving their kind a purpose in aid of their righteous cause. The Worm mother capitulated to his demands as he abducts her out of their prison; earning him the respect of all the worms addressing him as "Subjugator"[4] and "Worm father".[5]

Despite the Subjugator's earlier claims to be on his master's behalf, it was apparent to Xita that Rhulk had only sought the worms out of his own personal desire for domination and was constantly chided by the Witness for stepping out of line. The Disciple would fulfill his earlier deal to the Worm mother and engineered from her body a parasitic strain of living worm segments, their so-called "larvae", which could be implanted into a host and give them access to the Sword Logic. He would then set those parasitic larvae adrift on Fundament's ocean, eager to reach the shores of the Osmium Kingdom.[6]

As a result of this deal they became seduced by temptation of the killing logic; their kind began slaughtering each other to achieve apotheosis through its tenets. As they warred amongst themselves, the strongest of their kind became paracausally bound to the Sword Logic and its forbidden magics linked to the Darkness, or as they termed it "the Deep". Many of these proto-Worms died in the planet-wide bloodbath that ensued, with Ahsa being the only known individual known to have successfully escaped Fundament and traveled to a different star system.[2] Of all the proto-Worms left after the species-wide genocide Xita, the Nurturing Worm and her five kin survived, evolving into even stronger lifeforms known as the Worm Gods, having mastered the Sword Logic. However, they would be left imprisoned by the Leviathan, a massive creature that served as an later ally of the Light-wielding Ammonites and acolyte to the Traveler, in the core of Fundament for an unknown amount of time beneath its watchful eye.[citation needed]

Ascension of the Hive

One of their larvae eventually washed up on the shore of the Osmium Court, where it was found by the Krill Osmium King and taken as his familiar. From the white dead worm, the Witness echoed whispers to the king of a syzygy that would end all life on Fundament. Larvae in hand, the king gradually descended into madness in apocalyptic fear of the Traveler, which only escalated upon sighting of the actual entity as Taox and the other Krill conspired to end the insane king.[7]

Following the Osmium King's murder by the Helium Drinkers, his daughters Sathona, Aurash, and Xi Ro fled the court out of fear for their lives; taking with them their father's worm familiar. From the dead worm, the Witness spoke to Sathona, and through her guided the three sisters in their quest for vengeance.[8][9] [7]

Eventually, the worm led the sisters into the depths of Fundament, to the domain of the Worm Gods, who tempted them with power and immortality in exchange for becoming parasitized by their larvae.[1] The sisters accepted, taking on the names Auryx, Savathûn, and Xivu Arath. Acting in concert with the Worm Gods, they took more larvae back to the surface in order to offer the rest of their species the same bargain.[10] Those who refused to accept were killed by the emergent Hive.[11]

The Worm Gods oversaw the Hive's conquest of Fundament, providing knowledge, orders, and censure to their leaders as necessary. When the war freed the Worm Gods from Fundament's core, they responded by opening a wormhole into geostationary orbit, allowing the Hive to invade Fundament's moons and the Ammonite civilization that dwelled there.[12] The Hive eventually exterminated the Ammonite and slew the Leviathan. Eir and Yul consumed their captor's corpse.[13] After this, the Worm Gods withdrew to the Ascendant Realm and generally left the Hive alone.

Auryx would later seek out and slay Akka for the knowledge to commune directly with the Darkness. He returned as Oryx, the Taken King. [14] However, Akka remained active in some fashion and battled Oryx following the events of the Golden Amputation.[15] At some point Oryx recovered a fragment of Akka's shell and used it to craft his Dreadnaught.[16]

Sometime after the death of Akka, Yul began to contemplate taking the power from the weakest of the four remaining Worms, in order to withstand any future attacks by Oryx. Knowing himself to be vulnerable, Xol made a pact with Oryx's abandoned son, Nokris, to flee Fundament and seek new worlds to conquer together.[17]

A long-standing Vex incursion in Oryx's throne world eventually drew the attention of the Worm Gods. Eir commanded him to "SET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER".[18]

The Collapse

At least one of the Worm Gods, Xol, was present in the Sol System during the Collapse, having traveled to Mars alongside Nokris and his followers with the intent of conquering the planet for themselves. They would engage in battle with Rasputin at Hellas Basin, which had ended when the Warmind invoked his SIBERIAN ENTROPY protocol and flash-froze Xol, Nokris and their entire army in a layer of ice.

Warmind

Centuries after the Collapse, Xol's physical form would perish on Mars at the hands of the Guardians, along with his herald. As with Akka before him, Xol transcended death and would go on to present himself to a group of Taken on Io, who offered him worship and service. After the Guardian proved themselves to Xol, he drew upon his power through the Sword Logic, transforming himself into the Whisper of the Worm.

The Witch Queen

During Rhulk's battle against a team of six Guardians who had invaded his Pyramid, he drew upon Xita's power to charge the Upended, seeking to activate the weapon and destroy Savathûn's Throne World. After he was defeated, Xita remained motionless underneath the Upended, seemingly dead or catatonic.

After it was removed from her body, Savathûn's Worm symbiote was kept by Mara Sov, who promised it a new host in exchange for information about Savathûn's role in the Collapse. The Worm assumed Mara herself would become its new host, but instead Mara placed the Worm inside a weapon that would keep it alive and allow it to feast on the destruction generated by the Guardian.

Season of the Deep

Following Titan's reappearance after previously having been Taken by the Witness, the Vanguard made contact with Ahsa, an ancient proto-Worm who had been hiding on Titan since the Golden Age.

Biology

Worms exist in two forms: massive, serpentine beings known as Worm Gods, and smaller parasitic "larvae" that can live within the bodies of other beings. It is not clear whether Worm larvae are in fact immature Worms, with Worm Gods being the adult form, or if they are wholly separate from the Worm Gods' life cycle; Xita states that "larvae" is a term used by Rhulk, and describes her larvae as "segments" of herself.[19]

The Worms are a parasitic species, entering into symbiotic relationships with other sentient races in order to amass greater power for themselves. Their larvae can inhabit the bodies of other beings, such as those of their servant race the Hive, and feed off the power acquired by their hosts through following the Sword Logic. Worm larvae are pale and about a meter in length, with rounded heads, six short spines on their back, and two spines at the end of their tail. Larger variants of Worm larvae can be found within the Worm breeding facility located within the Witch Queen's Throne World, possibly a result of experimentation by Rhulk.

Worm Gods are vastly larger in size than larvae and live outside of a host. They appear to vary greatly in size, with Xol, the first of the five Worm Gods encountered by the Guardians, being hundreds of meters in length, Xita being kilometers in length and hundreds of meters in height, and Akka having seemingly been the size of a small celestial body based on the size of the Dreadnaught Oryx had made from a piece of his body. All Worm Gods seen thus far are covered with segmented plates and numerous spines and have heads with six barbed mandibles surrounding glowing eye-like structures. Notably, the Worm God Yul describes himself as having wings, while Xol and Xita were not seen to possess wings.

Ahsa, a "proto-Worm" encountered on Titan, differs greatly in appearance from the Worm Gods, having smooth bluish-grey skin rather than armor plates, and normal-looking eyes on the side of her head as opposed to the glowing green "eyes" within the mouths of the Worm Gods. These differences are likely accounted for by the transformation undergone by the Worm Gods after they became seduced by the Witness.

Known Worms

Trivia

  • The Worms have very similar speech patterns to the Ahamkara. As a result, it was theorized that Ahamkara are closely related to, if not the same species as, the Worm Gods, given the similar language used to describe the two, and the use of the phrase "O [subject] mine". The craftmind Medusa (who may in fact be Eris Morn) suggested in a lore entry that this theory was not true, instead hypothesizing that both species separately evolved to harness the underlying power within the phrase.[20] The similarities in the phrases used by the two species can be noted in the table below.

    • The term Demiurge in Gnosticism and other theological systems is a heavenly being, subordinate to the Supreme Being, that is considered to be the controller of the material world and antagonistic to all that is purely spiritual.
  • Artwork of the Worm gods suggests inspiration was taken from the sandworms of Dune.
  • In the mission Utopia while the player was crawling through the vents to find the generator, worms could be seen in the ventilation which had a red coloration and was much wider than the normal versions.
  • The "Unveiling" Lore Book mentions two groups of entities that escaped the primordial "garden" that gave rise to the universe, the "insects" and the "worms". This would seem to further suggest that the Worms and Ahamkara are distinct, albeit fundamentally similar, creatures and may hint to their origins.[21]
