"But how many more Hive abominations are still out there? Growing among the Darkness? I fear we may find out all too soon."
Ikora Rey

Phogoth, the Untamed is a Hive Ogre imprisoned deep within the Moon, held in its chamber by great chains.[1] It is a boss of The Summoning Pits Strike mission. When encountered by Guardians, Phogoth breaks free from its chains and attacks, using both its brutal strength and arcane abilities in an attempt to slay the intruders.[2] Unlike most Ogres, Phogoth's weak spot is the pulsating tumor on its chest. This weak spot can be difficult to hit when Phogoth is hunched over.

Summary

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 Swarm poses.[4]

After it's death at the hands of the Guardians, it has risen again as a Nightmare, which then the Guardians went and defeated too. According to Eris, she feels pity for it as it led an existences of servitude that it no longer wanted to live.
