Ahamkara are powerful, shape-shifting [[paracausal]] creatures capable of granting the wishes of other intelligent beings. They can appear in any form they wish, but they frequently choose shapes that exhibit draconic or reptilian attributes, hence their alternative name "wish-dragons". | Ahamkara are powerful, shape-shifting [[Paracausality|paracausal]] creatures capable of granting the wishes of other intelligent beings.

The Ahamkara draw upon their wish-granting magics from the [[Anthem Anatheme]], to transform desire into reality to suit one's purposes. To do this they use a characteristic phrase when addressing other beings, taking the form of "O/Oh (subject) mine". This phrase is apparently a curse, invoking paracausal powers of ownership over the addressee. The [[Worm|Worm Gods]], the Cabal Emperor [[Emperor Calus|Calus]] and the Witch Queen [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] have also been recorded as using this phrase, suggesting either a relationship between them or a universal applicability of this phrase. | The Ahamkara draw upon their wish-granting magics from the [[Anthem Anatheme]], to transform desire into reality to suit one's purposes.

The origins of the Ahamkara remain a mystery. According to | The origins of the Ahamkara remain a mystery. According to [[The Witness|the Witness]]’s [[Lore:Unveiling|parables]], in the primordial state before time or the universe began, entities existed which derived sustenance from the gradient between "what was and what might be." This may hint at the origins of beings such as the Ahamkara, which continue to base their existence on the difference between actual and possible realities.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Unveiling#Gardener and Winnower|Unveiling - Gardener and Winnower]]''</ref> | ||
