'''Xita, the Nurturing Worm''' is the mother of the [[Worm Gods]]. She was imprisoned by the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]] for eons until the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] sought her out on behalf of [[The Witness|the Witness]], and was partially responsible for the creation of the [[Hive]] using her own parasitic Worm larvae. She was currently used as a battery to power the [[The Upended|Upended]] aboard the [[Sunken Pyramid|Throne World Pyramid]] and is currently either deceased or catatonic following Rhulk's defeat. | |||

As with the other Worm Gods, Xita's origins are unknown. At some point, she and her five offspring - [[Eir]], [[Ur]], [[Xol]], [[Yul]] and [[Akka]] - were imprisoned deep within the ocean of the gas giant [[Fundament]], where they remained for millennia. There they slowly starved, cut off from any hosts from which to siphon power through the [[Anthem Anatheme]]. Eventually [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness]] visited them to offer a bargain: serve the [[The Witness|Witness]] in exchange for access to plentiful hosts for her kin in the form of the nascent [[Hive|Krill]] on the surface of the planet. Xita agreed, surrendering herself to Rhulk so that her body could be used to breed a strain of miniature Worms - so-called "larvae" - that could be implanted into hosts. Leaving her children behind in the depths of Fundament, she resided thereafter aboard Rhulk's Pyramid, where she provided a constant stream of larvae to be distributed to the Hive by Rhulk, and a power source for the Upended should it ever need to be used<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Mark|Resonant Fury Mark]]''</ref>. | |||
After Rhulk's defeat at the hands of the [[Guardian]]s, Xita has shown no signs of life, and is presumably either deceased or in a coma-like state. As has been seen with the other Worm Gods, however, her physical death likely means very little for her continued existence and influence on the material world. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Xita is the largest Worm seen in Destiny so far, easily outclassing [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] in size. Though he has not yet been seen, one of Xita's deceased children, [[Akka, the Worm of Secrets]] is said to had been far larger than her, as a segment of his corpse was used by [[Oryx, the Taken King]] to craft his [[Dreadnaught]]. | |||
*Xita is so far the only confirmed female worm. | |||
