{{Quote|The Flayers are not ordinary Psions. Even one is a formidable enemy. You must bring all your guile to this fight.|[[Osiris]].}}
'''Psion Flayers''' are a class of highly powerful [[Cabal]] [[Psion]]s, having first debuted as a [[Ice Reapers|detachment]] within the [[Dust Palace Strike]],<ref>[http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/06/16/destinys-playstation-exclusive-content-detailed/ '''Playstation Blog''' - ''Destiny’s PlayStation-Exclusive Content Detailed'']</ref> and [[Challenge of the Elders]]. In [[Season of Dawn]], a council of Psion Flayers ([[Niruul, the Hollow Voice|Niruul]], [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer|Ozletc]], and [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater|Tazaroc]]) attempted to manipulate time on [[Mercury]] using one of [[Osiris]]' inventions, the [[Sundial]]. Each one has a different type of shield, making it difficult to engage them all at once.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6eFgqDnK7M Destiny - Dust Palace Strike Walkthrough]</ref>

==Overview==
The Psion Flayers are orders of magnitude more powerful than the average Psion. When a Psion nears the threshold to evolve into a Flayer they become [[Flayer Aspirant]]s. These Aspirants often seek out various methods to ascend themselves, one example being Rasputin's Nodes in [[Psionic Potential]]. Their psychic attacks have far more range, and were able to fight and win against [[Rasputin]] in the [[Dust Palace]]. If [[Warlock]] speculation is true, they are even responsible for [[Phobos]]' current position over Mars, and are waiting to unleash it as a weapon.<ref name="PF">'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#The Psion Flayers|The Psion Flayers]]''</ref> They can possibly cast illusions upon others as well.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/flayed?highlight=illusion Illusions]</ref>

First seen among a mysterious legion known as the [[Ice Reapers]], the trio of Psion Flayers known as Kolar, Numoc, and Vatch were called in by [[Valus Ta'aurc]] with the goal of locating and neutralizing [[Rasputin]] after an orbital bombardment from his [[Warsat]]s decimated most of the [[Valus]]' troops.<ref>[[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2]]</ref> Seen in the [[Dust Palace]], the trio were almost successful in infiltrating Rasputin's systems until they were disrupted and killed by a [[Guardian]] [[Fireteam]]<ref>[[Dust Palace (strike)]]</ref>.

Another pair was seen protecting [[Val Aru'un]] in the [[Prison of Elders]], where they serve the ambitious [[Val]] and the [[Broken Legion]].

The [[Red Legion]] also employ Psion Flayers, with one active detachment unleashed against the [[Vex]] on [[Mercury]] with the goal of infiltrating the [[Infinite Forest]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7rQqxvUFwU</ref>. Meanwhile, another triplet group of Flayers emerged 3 years after the [[Red War]] with the intent of utilizing the [[Sundial]] to rewrite history in their favor, by securing a victory where the [[Red Legion]] subverts the Solar System.<ref>[[Weblore]]: Sisters</ref> Another group of Psions sought to use Rasputin's nodes to evolve into flayers, however they were killed by The Guardian.<ref>[[Psionic Potential]]</ref>
