These creatures projected a field which suppressed [[Light]] and were described as headless, "vacuous," shadowy forms. Many were found imprisoned within monolith-like alien structures, apparently in the form of cryogenic suspension, but others were also found roaming free around the planet.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/ancient-apocalypse-gloves?highlight=Ancient+apocalypse Ancient Apocalypse Gloves]</ref> | ||
As a result of the Light-suppressing field they generated, [[Guardian|Guardians]] that died within close proximity of these creatures were incapable of being revived by their [[Ghosts]], resulting in the Guardian's permanent death. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The Drifter's description of these creatures is reminiscent of the mysterious shadowy creatures depicted in [[Cayde's Treasure Island Book]], drawings of which accompany his description of the [[Collapse]]. | |||
*The creatures also seem to share some characteristics with [[Tormentor]]s, notably in that both are apparently headless and can nullify [[Light]]; however, the creatures encountered by the Drifter are described as amorphous and being passive in behavior, neither of which apply to Tormentors. | |||
*The planet where the Drifter encountered these creatures is very likely the [[Cabal Empire]]'s lost [[Athenaeum World X]], based on matching descriptions in the [[Lore:The Chronicon|Chronicon]]. | |||
**However, it should be noted that the Chronicon, particularly its "future" entries, is likely not a reliable source of information. | |||
