Other Taken can also create artificial projections in the form of ''echoes'', which are shadowy imitations of lesser enemies such as [[Shadow Thrall]]s and [[Shadowbeast]]s.

The Taken enemies that appear in [[The Reckoning]], [[Gambit Prime]], and the [[Prophecy]] [[Dungeon]] are not actual Taken. Instead of being living creatures corrupted by [[Darkness]], they are artificial constructs of dark matter, created from the [[Unknown Space|Nine Realms]] and its engine of pue potential, as the [[Nine]] themselves are sentient beings of dark matter. Vanguard intelligence notes that these counterfeit Taken have low counts of sterile neutrinos, typically associated with Taken, but instead have high ambient cold dark matter. This is the reason many Taken forces encountered in Nine space are all powerful echoes in imitation of [[Likeness of Oryx|Oryx]] and his [[Likeness of Nokris|son]], in addition to a [[Cabal]] [[Phalanx Echo|Phalanx]] and a [[Fallen]] [[Kell Echo|Kell]].
