Egregore

This article is a stub. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

Egregore is a strange fungus-like life form that is commonly associated with the Darkness. It is commonly seen on various locations like the Derelict, the Cabal Carrier Glykon Volatus, and the Leviathan.

Egregore spores apparently "open one's mind" to the Darkness, and permit affected individuals to pass through energy barriers generated by the fungus.

Trivia

• Egregore refers to a concept in Occultism wherein an expressly believed thought manifests amongst a group of like-minded thinkers. The definition of this has changed over time, from manifesting an actual physical being that assists the group, in the form of a guardian angel or other being, to just the ability for the thought to grow in strength within the group, becoming evermore influential in the groups actions. Therefore, egregore is parasitic in its relationship to its host group. This can be said to be represented in Destiny, as Egregore have so far appeared to grow within regions of lifeforms with a strong like-minded thought process and purpose; Loyalists and their dedication to Calus, Scorn and their dedication to finding meaning to their existence. Drifter's ownership of some egregore may indicate his singular strength of will to survive, with the Egregore feeding on this.
