The Taken enemies that appear in the [[Nine Realms]] are not actual Taken. Instead of being living creatures corrupted through Darkness, they are artificial constructs of dark matter, created from by the [[Nine]] themselves, who are sentient beings of dark matter.

This is the reason many Taken forces encountered in Nine space are all-powerful echoes in imitation of Oryx and his [[Likeness of Nokris|son]], in addition to a Cabal [[Phalanx Echo|Phalanx]] and a Fallen [[Kell Echo|Kell]]. | The Taken enemies that appear in the [[Unknown Space|Nine Realms]] are not actual Taken.
