'''Oryx, the Taken King''' is a mysterious [[Hive]] entity that is believed to be the master of all Hive sects and the source of their powers. He is even the creator of the dreaded [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], the Hive God who slew thousands of [[Guardian]]s during [[the Great Disaster]]. While the nature of this entity is unknown to the Guardians, the name Oryx appears often enough in Hive rituals that it cannot be ignored. Shrines dedicated to Oryx have been built throughout the [[Solar System]], and are known to be used by the Hive to communicate with some dark power across the universe. [[Osiris]] studied the Hive extensively and foretold that the [[Spawn of Crota]] would pave the way for Oryx's coming by "snuffing out the worlds of [[Light]]".<ref>'''Bungie (2015-2-26)''', ''Destiny'', Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Spawn of Crota|Spawn of Crota]]</ref> The Hive sect known as the [[Blood of Oryx]] are thought to be the direct servants of Oryx itself.<ref name="Grimoire">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Blood of Oryx|Blood of Oryx]]''</ref> | '''Oryx, the Taken King''' is a mysterious [[Hive]] entity that is believed to be the master of all Hive sects and the source of their powers.
