'''Shades''', also known as '''Echoes''', are paracausal imitations or apparitions created using [[Darkness]].

==Application==
===Hive===
In the [[Broodhold]] [[Strike]], [[In Anânh, Brood Queen]] will reach out to [[Ur, the Ever-Hunger]] and create a Shade of herself.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Broodhold]]''</ref> Other powerful Wizards, such as [[Ir Abassin, Broodlost]], [[Ir Garza, Scourge of Earth]] and the [[Ir Dollox, Talon of Xivu Arath|Talons]] [[Ir Kaza, Talon of Xivu Arath|of]] [[Xivu Arath]] have been seen to possess similar abilities to summon a Shade or shift into a '''Shade Form''' for invulnerability.

===Taken===
By using the power of the Darkness, [[Oryx, the Taken King]] was able to create a Taken projection of himself in the form of the [[Echo of Oryx]]. These Echoes allowed him to enact his will remotely where he could summon and command Taken troops. Oryx's power in an area faded once an Echo was vanquished and any Taken he summoned were recalled.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Echo of Oryx|Echo of Oryx]]''</ref> The Taken [[Subjugator]], the [[The Resonant Knife, First of the Reshaped|Resonant Knife]] was also shown to be capable of summoning a [[Shade of Keit'Ehr|Shade]] of itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - [[The Nether]]''</ref>

Other Taken can also create artificial projections in the form of ''shadows'', which are shadowy imitations of lesser enemies such as [[Shadow Thrall]]s and [[Shadowbeast]]s.

[[Dredgen Sere]] was able to use [[Taken]] energies to create [[Blistered Shadow]]s and a [[Shade of Sere|Shade]] of himself.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/12/13)''', ''Destiny 2: Renegades - [[Equilibrium]]''</ref>

===Counterfeit Taken===
Some of the Counterfeit Taken in [[Prophecy]] appear in the form of Echoes, like the [[Knight Echo]]es, [[Centurion Echo]]es, the [[Phalanx Echo]] and the [[Kell Echo]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Prophecy]]''</ref>

===Osiris' Echoes===
Osiris was capable of manifesting Echoes that were stated to be reserved for ''Taken Kings'' and he exclusively used them to traverse near the core of the [[The Sundial|Sundial]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/13)''', ''[[Weblore]]:[[Weblore:Season of the Worthy|Season of the Worthy]] - [[Weblore:Season of the Worthy#Maintenance Operations Log 30037|Maintenance Operations Log 30037]]''</ref>

===Rhulk's Echo===
During [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulks]]' [[Raid#Pantheon|Pantheon]] fight, he summons an Echo of himself. It is unlike any other Shade or Echo seen before as it has transparent edges and the upper body is illuminated by orange resonant-like energy.
