The Great Ahamkara Hunt, otherwise known as the Great Hunt, was a massive hunt by the Guardians of the Last City to exterminate the Ahamkara. Mysterious creatures rumored to have been brought into existence by the Traveler during the Golden Age, the Ahamkara were frequently sought out by Guardians for their wish-granting powers. These wishes would always backfire, however, and cause far more harm than good. As valuable as the Ahamkara were, ultimately the Vanguard deemed them too dangerous to be allowed to live. In addition, the Ahamkara had begun to do something to Venus, no two Guardians could agree upon what they saw, and a Warlock that had witnessed the event became suicidal.[1] The Vanguard warned Mara Sov of the Ahamkara as well, and asked her to exterminate any Ahamkara that ventured into the Reef. Mara Sov, seeing an advantage in having the only Ahamkara alive, delivered weapons to the Guardians to assist them in their hunt. By the end of the Great Hunt, Riven, Taranis, and their whims became the last living Ahamkara within the Sol System, and then became physically separated forever.

Officially, the Hunt was mostly successful and the vast majority of the Ahamkara species was rendered extinct. However without anyone's knowledge the Nine hid a small number of Ahamkara, who were however killed by them with the arrival of Oryx in the Sol system, for fear that it would corrupt them.[2] Ahamkara bones are used in some Warlock and Hunter armor.[3]

Notable Guardians that were involved in the Great Hunt included Wei Ning[4], Commander Zavala, Eris Morn, Ikora Rey, Lord Shaxx, Praedyth, Kabr, Pahanin[5], Lord Saladin, Lady Efrideet, Liu Feng, and Ouros[6].
