[[Ir Yût, the Deathsinger]] is encountered in the [[Raid]] [[Crota's End]], and may be a class of Deathsinger as she reappears again in [[Last Rites]]. Her Deathsong, the Liturgy of Ruin, is a three minute long song which, if completed, will wipe the Raid party. In order to damage her the party must lure out two Hive Wizards, kill them, then kill two [[Shrieker]]s when the message "''the Deathsinger prepares her song''" appears. The shield will drop around the Deathsinger, allowing the party to damage her.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Crota's End]]''</ref>

[[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]] and [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger|Ir Halak]] are both encountered in the Raid [[King's Fall]]. Their Deathsongs, the Dirge of Unraveling and the Hymn of Weaving, respectively, last for approximately a minute each. In order to prevent the one Deathsinger from completing her song one player, who has been torn between dimensions, must get a spark and get close to the other sister and steal her aura, leaving her defenceless. The aura will protect the players will they damage the non-singing sister until the other sister finishes her Deathsong. The aura will then return to its sister and the process begins again. When one sister is killed, there will be no protective aura to defend the players, and so they must kill the other quickly.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King's Fall]]''</ref>
[[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]] and [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger|Ir Halak]] are first encountered in Last Rites but immediately disappear when the [[Guardian]]'s cloaking field trips. They both later appear in the Raid [[King's Fall]]. Their Deathsongs, the Dirge of Unraveling and the Hymn of Weaving, respectively, last for approximately a minute each. In order to prevent the one Deathsinger from killing the party one player, who has been torn between dimensions, must get a spark and get close to the other sister and steal her aura, leaving her defenceless. The aura will protect the players while they damage the non-singing sister until the other finishes her Deathsong. The aura will then return to its original sister and the process begins again. When one sister is killed, there will be no protective aura to defend the players, and so they must kill the other quickly.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King's Fall]]''</ref>


==Known Deathsingers==
Several Deathsingers are encountered as part of the [[Symphony of Death]] [[Quest]]. These Deathsingers differ from normal Wizards for their possession of [[Void]] [[Absorption Shield]]s, as well as their ability to actively channel the Deathsong. While they are chanting, the player's screen will be obstructed by green mist, and a one minute timer will tick down. If it reaches zero, the player will succumb to the Deathsong. Breaking the Deathsinger's shield stops her chant, which she will only restart when her shield recharges. They are also active fighters with all the behaviours of normal Wizards, flying evasively and using their spells to disorient and attack the player.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, [[Quest]]: [[Symphony of Death]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Two unnamed Deathsingers, in Last Rites, share the same models as [[Omnigul]] and Ir Yût. These could be Deathsingers aligned with the [[Spawn of Crota]].
*The word "Ir" may be a title used to identify Deathsingers as they all possess the aforementioned word in their name.
**Those like [[Ir Arok, Tongue of Quria|Ir Arok]], [[Ir Yun, Cult of Megor|Ir Yun]] and [[Ir Abassin, Broodlost|Ir Abassin]] posses the word Ir in their name but are not Deathsingers, which might make the point false.
