Pyramid Scales are much smaller than Pyramids, being about the size of a [[Jumpship]]. Unlike their larger counterparts, which are simple tetrahedrons, Pyramid Scales are hexahedrons with a projecting tetrahedral extension hovering below their underside. As their name suggests, they are "shed" from the outer hull of Pyramids like scales, detaching from their surface as they deploy.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Deep]] - Item Description: [[NPA "Weir-Walker" Suit#NPA "Weir-Walker" Hood, Helm, and Visor|NPA "Weir-Waler" Hood / Helm / Visor]]''</ref>

Pyramid Scales were first sighted over the Echo Mesa on Io, empowering the enemies of humanity that flock towards them and reap their paracausal power. Pyramid Scales also begin the [[Contact]] Activity, in which Guardians must fight to contain their Darkness in [[Gambit]] fashion; by killing the enemies that drop Dark Motes, containing them in the nearby [[Bank (Gambit)|Bank]] and ridding any [[Taken]] Blockers sent by [[Quria, Blade Transform]].<ref name="Contact">'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Contact]]''</ref>

Weeks following the arrival of the [[Pyramid (Io)|Io Pyramid]], it began deploying Pyramid Scales out in force to patrol and survey its surface actively, likely for terraforming purposes. Other Pyramid Scales were reported on other planets including [[Mercury]], [[Mars]], and [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]; the latter of which Guardians fought to contain their Darkness much like at Io.<ref name="Contact"/>
