Enslaved and corrupted version of other races |
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. 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. Oryx can turn enemies into Taken through two known methods. In the first, he holds his out and Darkness flows from his shoulders down to his finger tips. While this is happening, the creature begins to get possessed and consumed by the Darkness. In the second, he remotely summons portals to the dimension of the Darkness which suck in multiple enemies at a time, spewing them out possessed and consumed. [3]
