Like most Hive architecture, Cryptoliths are partially biological, growing like plants wherever they are seeded. When dormant, they lie still and are mostly hidden below ground; when activated, they rise up and begin glowing, and various pieces of their outer shell begins to move. They are considered hard to remove, such as with a Cryptolith at the Reef that attempting to do so would destroy the Tangled Shore. Cryptoliths each also possess the ability to open up and reveal a portal to the [[Ascendant Realm]], presumably even [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath's]] throne world.<ref name="UNMADE">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore]]: [[Lore:Call_of_the_Cryptolith|Call of the Cryptolith]] - [[Lore:Call_of_the_Cryptolith#VIII.
