==History==
They were created by the Deathsinger twins [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger|Ir Halak]] and [[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]] to battle the [[Vex]] when they invaded [[Oryx]]'s [[Ascendant Realm]], the [[High War]], after [[Crota]] accidentally cut a hole through space and time.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVIII:_The_partition_of_death|XXXVIII: The partition of death]]''</ref>
==Gameplay==
In [[Crota's End]], four Totems play a part during the Bridge encounter, two on either side of the Bridge. When Guardians attempt to form the Bridge from either side, the two Totems on the same side will begin to charge up, and will eventually release a blast of energy that kills all Guardians. Annihilator Totems can be suppressed by a Guardian standing in close proximity to them, allowing the Bridge to form without Guardians perishing. When three Guardians have successfully crossed, they start forming the Bridge from the other end.
In [[King's Fall]], when the Brand of the Weaver/Unraveler is picked up, the nearby Annihilator Totems begin to charge and will cause a wipe if allowed to discharge. Like in Crota's End, Guardians must stand on the Totems in order to suppress them, but Guardians must alternate whom stands on the Totems based on who is holding the brands.
In [[Pit of Heresy]], there is one totem found in the Chamber of Suffering and functions just like it does in any other appearance. If allowed to discharge it wipes the team.
The Totems would appear in [[PsiOps Battleground: Moon]] as Ritual Totems glowing with blue light but without the killing effect. They also appear again in [[The Descent]] but as War Totems that maintain the Overwhelming Battlesong.
