Phogoth, the Untamed was a Hive Ogre imprisoned within the Summoning Pits deep within the Hellmouth on the Moon, held in its chamber by great chains.[1] He was killed by the Guardians in a Strike, but returned as a Nightmare years later after the awakening of the Pyramid on the Moon.
Summary
Raised by the Wizard Mormu, Xol Spawn of the Hidden Swarm,[2] Phogoth is described to be a product of one of the Hive's more depraved workings: a ritual of rebirth where, unlike most Ogres — who are driven by ravenous hunger, and unbridled, nigh-uncontrollable hatred — Phogoth’s hatred and hunger is honed and directed with purpose.[3] According to Eris Morn, Phogoth's purpose is purely destruction, a reminder of the threat the Hidden Swarm poses.[4]
After his death at the hands of the Guardians, Phogoth has risen again as a Nightmare, which the Guardians hunted down and defeated.
Gameplay
Phogoth is the final boss of The Summoning Pits Strike mission. When encountered by Guardians, Phogoth breaks free from its chains and attacks, using both his brutal strength and Eye Blast to overwhelm his enemies caught in his gaze.[5] Unlike most Ogres, Phogoth's weak spot is the pulsating tumor on his chest. This weak spot can be difficult to hit when Phogoth is hunched over.
Trivia
- Phogoth's name is reminiscent of the shoggoth from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, along with the Greek word "Phobos" ("fear").

- Phogoth somewhat resembles both Marathon's Drinniol and its spiritual successor, Halo's Sharquoi.
- Phogoth was renamed "Hive Abomination" as of Patch 2.4.0.
- Phogoth is the third biggest Hive enemy second only to Raid Golgoroth and Oryx, the Taken King.
