Primevals are exceptionally powerful and ancient Taken, summoned and controlled by the Drifter using Motes of Dark. Unlike other Taken, they are not transformed from physical reality to the Deep; they are born of Darkness, ever hungry for the [[Light]] and noticably angry. Their elemental composition differs from regular Taken, with a low Sterile Neutrino Count (''SNC'') and high ambient Lambda-CDM (''ΛCDM'').<ref name="'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Potential]]''">[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/potential?highlight=primeval Potential]</ref> | Primevals are exceptionally powerful and ancient Taken, summoned and controlled by the Drifter using Motes of Dark.
