The Ahamkara first appeared in the Solar System after the arrival of the Traveler, seemingly out of thin air. They were studied on [[Venus]] by the [[Ishtar Academy]] because of their unique genome, with contained unknown new proteins. They were noted to a parasitic species.<ref>'''Cayde's Treasure Island Book''' ''[[Cayde's_Treasure_Island_Book|Cayde's Treasure Island Book]]''</ref> | |||
The Ahamkara were said to be wish-fulfilling "dragons", sought out by many [[Guardian]]s in search of power. However, it was decided that the bargains made with these creatures came at too high a price,<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/salicin-fen-ii]''</ref><ref name="Knuckles">'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/knuckles-of-eao Knuckles of Eao]''</ref> so they were hunted to extinction in the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Legends_3|Ghost Fragment: Legends 3]]''</ref><ref name="Warlock"/> There is evidence that suggests Ahamkara were hunted earlier, as [[Lord Gheleon]] possessed many Ahamkara fragments.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Iron_Lords#Lord_Gheleon|Lord Gheleon]]''</ref> | The Ahamkara were said to be wish-fulfilling "dragons", sought out by many [[Guardian]]s in search of power.

*Both the armor descriptions and the Grimoire cards end with the same phrase, "oh bearer/reader mine." This speech pattern bears some similarity to that of the [[Worm Gods]] referenced in the [[Books of Sorrow]], suggesting some sort of connection between the two groups of entities. Additionally, the description of the [[Harmony]] as dragons and their usage of "dragon-wishes" may mean the Harmony were related taxonomically in some way to the Ahamkara, who appeared when the Traveler arrived. The Ahamkara's presence in relation to the Traveler strengthens the possibility. | *Both the armor descriptions and the Grimoire cards end with the same phrase, "oh bearer/reader mine."
