[[Age of Triumph]] added a Challenge Mode for Crota. To complete it, nobody can hold the sword more than once. Even if a player drops it, if they pick it up again, the challenge will fail.

==Trivia==
===Dares of Eternity===
*It is mentioned in ''[[The Taken King]]'' that only Ascendant Hive could enter the Ascendant plane, those Hive which had killed enough to gain admittance. This meant that the means of how the Guardians accessed the Oversoul Throne on the Moon are unknown, as they did not follow the philosophy of the killing logic. A logical explanation is that Crota bled his Throne over into the Moon, becoming one and the same with the planetoid, meaning the same mechanics which allowed Guardians free roam on the Dreadnaught enabled them to enter Crota's realm, through the simple act of killing. The reason for Ascendance is because Guardians had not been killing long on the Dreadnaught, meaning it was necessary to steal Crota's soul.
{{Expand-section}}
*Crota is the first Hive and main antagonist to speak in English in-game, as his demonic whispers can be heard during the ''Dark Below'' mission, [[The Wakening]]. His father, Oryx, being the second, and [[Ecthar, Sword of Oryx|Ecthar]] being the third. Said whispers heard include: "Closer" and "I can't die".
*The name "Crota" is also an uncommon surname in the USA.<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=USFEDCEN&gsln=Crota&new=1&rank=1&redir=false '''Ancestry.com''' - ''Crota'']</ref>
*Crota is the first Hive deity to appear in-game.
*In ''Shadowkeep'', instead of his “ghostly”-like form in ''Dark Below'', the [[Nightmare of Crota]] has a solid body that looks much like [[Thalnok, Fanatic of Crota]].
**A possible reason for this is that it is Crota’s form in the material realm, while the appearance he had in his Throne World was his ascendant form.
*Crota has possibly one of the highest kill counts of any enemy Humanity has fought, as he killed thousands of [[Guardian]]s in [[The Great Disaster]].
*The [[Escalation Protocol]] boss, [[Kathok, Roar of Xol]] uses the exact opposite mechanic as Crota.
*The word Crota means a woman or person of scarce resource that lacks work, housing, and food often.<ref>https://www.wordmeaning.org/spanish/crota.htm</ref>
