'''The Caretaker''' is a massive [[Scorn]] [[Abomination]] residing within [[ | '''The Caretaker''' is a massive [[Scorn]] [[Abomination]] residing within [[Rhulk]]'s [[Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]] in the [[Court of Savathûn]]. Empowered by [[Darkness]]-based Resonant technology from the [[Pyramid]], the Caretaker was entrusted with a collection of [[Worm|Wormspawn]] as well as other entities [[The Witness|the Witness]] and Rhulk had previously obtained to be analyzed and stored within the Pyramid. It was slain by the intrepid [[Guardian]] [[Fireteam]] that stormed the vessel.<ref name="TWID Lore">[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/twid-05-02-2024 This Week In Destiny - 05/02/2024]</ref> | ||

Formerly an [[Eliksni]] from an unknown [[Fallen]] [[House]], not much is known about the Caretaker including its origin or true purpose. The only available information is from an [[Evidence Board]] entry, speculation from a member of [[the Hidden]], who posited that the Caretaker was the successful result of a fusion between the Scorn and a [[Worm]] larva.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/evidence-board-report-pyramid-inspect Evidence Board — Report: PYRAMID-INSPECT]''</ref> As it is deceased, along with [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]], not much more knowledge can be obtained about it. | |||
The only encounter that the Guardians had with the Caretaker was in the [[Collection]] section of the Sunken Pyramid. The Caretaker is initially found at the top of a set of stairs, performing a ritual on a segment of the marble-like substance found throughout Pyramid-adjacent Throne World locations. When Guardians get into close proximity, the Caretaker looks over its shoulder to inspect the invaders, but quickly returns to its ritual. During this, it is completely immune to all interference, even passively damaging Guardians that get within extreme proximity to it and its ritual through an aura of malevolent energy. | The only encounter that the Guardians had with the Caretaker was in the [[Collection]] section of the Sunken Pyramid.

Throughout its encounter with the Guardians, its main objective appears to be to move towards the obelisk on each floor of Collection, so it can trigger a massive expulsion of energy to the surrounding area, killing all targets. It can only be stopped in its tracks by damaging its face, which then opens the coffin-like object on its back, allowing Guardians to shoot its contents to temporarily stun the Caretaker. After recovering from this stun, The Caretaker will continue to plod towards the obelisk, its face becoming vulnerable again after a few seconds. To its discredit, the Caretaker will face and fixate on the Guardian standing closest to it, allowing for its face to be easily shot by this Guardian, and to allow positioning of its back for easy stuns for other members of the Fireteam. | Throughout its encounter with the Guardians, its main objective appears to be to move towards the obelisk on each floor of Collection, so it can trigger a massive expulsion of energy to the surrounding area, killing all targets.

*Reports from fireteams raiding the Sunken Pyramid mention that the Caretaker appears to have been both victim to and overseer of experiments seeking to fuse Worms and Scorn together. Multiple fireteams had also commented on what appear to be “pet” mutations that are believed to have belonged to the Caretaker. Whether these were rejected experiments or unsanctioned creations isn’t known.<ref name="TWID Lore"/> | |||
