*It is implied in several lore entries that the Ahamkara are aware of Destiny being a video game.  In Destiny 2, the lore tab for [[Skull of Dire Ahamkara]] suggests that it speaks directly to the player of the game, and the [[Claws of Ahamkara]] suggest that they are trapped in a prison behind a screen.

** An [[Lore:Truth to Power#Unnamed entry|intentionally unused lore entry]] strongly suggests that Ahamkara can view the actual development of Destiny through concepts relating to the [[Anthem Anatheme]], and tell when the player of the game finds things that are not intended to be available in-game. However, its canonicity cannot be verified.

*It has been speculated that Ahamkara are closely related to, if not the same species as, the [[Worm God]]s, given their similar attributes and use of the phrase "O___mine".

**The "Unveiling" Lore Book mentions two groups of entities that escaped the primordial "garden" that gave rise to the universe, the "insects" and the "worms". This would seem to further suggest that the Worms and Ahamkara are distinct, albeit fundamentally similar, creatures.
