| Counterfeit Taken are the Taken enemies that appear in [[The Reckoning]], [[Gambit Prime]], and the [[Prophecy]] [[Dungeon]] are not actual Taken. Instead of being living creatures corrupted by [[Darkness]], they are artificial constructs of dark matter, created from the [[Unknown Space|Nine Realms]] and its engine of pue potential, as the [[Nine]] themselves are sentient beings of dark matter. Vanguard intelligence notes that these counterfeit Taken have low counts of sterile neutrinos, typically associated with Taken, but instead have high ambient cold dark matter. This is the reason many Taken forces encountered in Nine space are all-powerful echoes in imitation of [[Likeness of Oryx|Oryx]] and his [[Likeness of Nokris|son]], in addition to a [[Cabal]] [[Phalanx Echo|Phalanx]] and a [[Fallen]] [[Kell Echo|Kell]]. | | Some of the Counterfeit Taken in [[Prophecy]] appear in the form of Echoes, like the [[Knight Echo]]es, [[Centurion Echo]]es, [[Phalanx Echo]] and the [[Kell Echo]]. |

| In addition, the Drifter learned to create his own counterfeit "Primeval-like" Taken from the Nine's use of pure potential; utilizing the dark matter of the Haul and through sheer force of will. One example of this is the [[Likeness of Oryx]] as it was the scariest Hive he could think of.<ref> '''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Potential|Stolen Intelligence; Potential]]''</ref>
