Ahamkara

Line 40:

*The name "Ahamkara" comes from the Sanskrit term for [[wikipedia:Ahamkara|attachment to one's ego]].

*Eao is the only named Ahamkara mentioned in the series.

*Some players believed that the winged, flying creatures seen in the skies above [[Venus]] may have been living Ahamkara. According to Bungie, these creatures are "[[batadactyl]]s". They got their informal name during an argument between members of Bungie's environment team over what animal the creatures most resembled.<ref name="RAV">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTXb7eBoCJ8 '''Ride Along - Venus''' - ''Bungie Commentary'']</ref> This ~~lead~~ to the misconception that the Ahamkara were predominately found on Venus.

*Both the armor descriptions and the Grimoire cards end with the same phrase, "oh bearer/reader mine",though it's left ambiguous whether they're addressing the in-universe Guardians or the player themselves. This speech pattern bears some similarity to that of the [[Worm Gods]] referenced in the [[Books of Sorrow]], suggesting some sort of connection between the two groups of entities. Additionally, the description of the [[Harmony]] as dragons and their usage of "dragon-wishes" may mean the Harmony were related taxonomically in some way to the Ahamkara, who appeared when the Traveler arrived. The Ahamkara's presence in relation to the Traveler strengthens the possibility.
