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.

According to [[Osiris]] and [[Ana Bray]], Cryptoliths are able to incite conflict in both mind and mechanism, able to cause technology and computer protocols to turn on each other and try and cannibalise the other, and make even the sturdiest of blades to bend at Xivu Arath's will.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/06)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Mission - Hierarchy</ref> | |||
