"Years ago, Taniks tore the Vanguard apart over a mere bounty. Andal Brask was murdered in cold blood, and the Hunter Vanguard was left without a leader. Taniks would ultimately die on the orders of Cayde-6. But the scars he left among all Guardians would never fully heal. Once again, the Pyramid takes advantage of our collective pain. We will not succumb."

— Eris Morn

The Nightmare of Taniks, the Scarred is the Nightmare form of the infamous Fallen mercenary and murderer: Taniks, the Scarred. Recreated with the power of the Darkness by the Lunar Pyramid, it represents the Essence of Isolation.

Gameplay

Taniks is the third nightmare you hunt during the campaign of Shadowkeep, found within the Temple of Crota in the room right before the lift that once lead to his ketch, you confront the Nightmare and destroy it. Taniks fights just like how he did back during House of Wolves, but with the Nightmare ability of turning invincible and summoning Nightmare Fallen.

Trivia

• Due to the real Taniks's history of cheating death, and his resurrection during the Deep Stone Crypt Raid in Beyond Light, this Nightmare is among the few that represent—or in this case, previously represented—a living enemy, alongside the Nightmare of the Fanatic, who has been resurrected multiple times with the power of Dark Ether and Ahamkara wish-magic.
