The Taken are the personal army of Oryx, the Taken King. The Taken are formed from the ranks of the other enemy races in the game; they are ripped out of our dimension and then sent back, wholly possessed by the Darkness and have been twisted and corrupted, mind and body, by Oryx's power. Taken are unwaveringly loyal to Oryx, and will turn on their former allies. These Taken versions behave radically different from the standard version of enemies, including new abilities designed to counter Guardian abilities. Groups of Taken can be mixed with members of different species,[1] and appear on every planet.[2]

Sometimes, enemies you are currently fighting may be sucked into portals and converted into Taken. One such example is Gorgath, Unborn. [3]
