Crota, Son of Oryx: Difference between revisions

Crota is one of the many gods worshiped by the Hive. Though he is the "youngest" member of this pantheon, he is noted to be "the heir to the [[wikipedia:Osmium|Osmium]] Throne", presumably a position of high importance among the Hive.<ref>Bungie (2015-2-12), Destiny, Activision Blizzard: [[Eidolon Ally]] upgrade materials description</ref> He is thus far the only Hive god that has acted directly against humanity, and is believed to be bent on conquering [[Earth]] for the sake of his creator, [[Oryx]].<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities#Rise_Of_Crota|Rise of Crota]]</ref><ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities#MUrns_of_Sacrifice|Urns of Sacrifice]]</ref> Crota has a [[Spawn_of_Crota|sect]] devoted to him, who are lead in the field by [[Omnigul]],<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities#Disciples_Of_Crota|Disciples of Crota]]</ref> though he himself belongs to the [[Blood of Oryx]] sect.

Six Guardians attempted to kill Crota, but the Hive managed to trap his soul. Crota in this world is invincible; that is because his true form only exists within his own netherworld created by his divine will.<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities#Crota's_End|Crota's End]]</ref><ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Crota,_Son_of_Oryx|Crota, Son of Oryx]]</ref>  Only one of the Guardians, [[Eris]], survived to tell the tale. His sect also plays a major role in Crota's attempted revival during ''The Dark Below'', which threatened the whole [[City]] with a full-scale Hive invasion. Though the player can destroy the crystal tethering his soul in the Chamber of Night to banish him from this world, Crota himself is not truly destroyed until another team of six Guardians destroys him in the deepest pit of the [[Hellmouth]].<ref name = "Dark Below">Bungie (2014-12-9), Destiny: The Dark Below, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard</ref>
