Qugu
Overview

Distinctions:

Herd animal ancestry
Symbiotic relationship with jaw-beasts
Intelligent

 

The Qugu were an intelligent species rendered extinct by the Hive.

Overview

The Qugu evolved from herd animals, and in the process were infected by a virus that profoundly influenced their society. The virus rewrote the Qugu's genetic code so that they were compelled to ritualistically offer their limbs to be amputated by another species called jaw-beasts. Once the massive, sessile jaw-beasts had consumed Qugu cells, the virus converted the cells into eggs, which would develop and eventually hatch within the jaw-beasts. In turn, the jaw-beasts produced a nectar-like substance that the Qugu would consume to experience hallucinogenic visions.[1]

The Qugu were evidently attuned to the Darkness, and could commune with the memories of their ancestors through it.[2]

By the time the Hive encountered the Qugu, they had become a spacefaring civilization and traveled on "ark-ships". Savathûn's brood swiftly exterminated the Qugu and their jaw-beasts.[1] When Oryx, the Taken King reported this in the Books of Sorrow, he omitted any mention of the Qugu using the Darkness, likely at the behest of The Witness. The Witness itself, on the other hand, locked away a singular reference to this aboard the Essence, which The Guardian recovered in the present day while searching for Nezarec, Final God of Pain.[citation needed]
