The Ahamkara are a species that appeared on Earth when the Traveler arrived. The Ahamkara was said to be a wish-fulfilling dragon, sought out by many Guardians in search of power. However, it was decided that the bargains made with these creatures came at too high a price, so they were hunted to extinction during the Great Ahamkara Hunt.[1][2]

Gameplay

The fossilized remains of the Ahamkara are of continued interest to Warlocks, who adorn their armor with them and thereby acquire unique powers. Some Hunters also wear armor with Ahamkara bones, but have less of an understanding of the risks involved. The bones seem to retain a will of their own, flattering and urging their owners to recklessness.
