There is also strong evidence that the gun wielded by the final boss of [[The Draw]] quest is a scout rifle Weapon of Sorrow named Proto-Thorn, as the gun's muzzle and overall aesthetic resemble Thorn, and the [[Enkaar, the Anointed|Acolyte]] himself is a known craftsman of the Weapons of Sorrow<ref>https://imgur.com/gallery/T80mhyy</ref>.

The weapons obtained from the [[Crown of Sorrow (raid)|Crown of Sorrow]] may be Weapons of Sorrow due to the fact that they were former [[Reef]] weapons that were empowered by Hive runes. As for the [[Osteo Striga]], the origin of the original weapon is unknown. [[Jana-14]], a former Vanguard researcher that was corrupted by [[Thorn]], had stated that she found it by hearing it crying, “half a world away.” The lore of the weapon, as does the word “Osteo,” suggests that bone is required or be fed to it, which is different from other Weapons of Sorrow.
