Now, I'm more into destiny lore then the common person. Despite the terrible telling of story in the game, the actual grimoire cards tell fascinating stories. Since the drop of Taken King, we have gotten huge insights into the Hive, including the planet they originated from, past conquests, ect. My main interest however, was the Worms. Gods of the hive. As I read what little information I could find on them, I noticed something. "Despite calling themselves worms, the Worm Gods describe themselves as having jaws and wings, and that they are of massive size and strength." (Destinypedia.com). So they are not literally worms, but this term is used as a name. But notice "jaws and wings, and that they are massive of size of strength". Remind you of any mythological creature? A dragon maybe? And where else have dragon-like creatures appeared in Destiny? The Ahamkara. Ahamkara are said to be "wish fulfilling dragons" and were hunted to extinction by guardians due to the cost of these wishes being too much. So their wishes came at a price. Alright. Now back to the worms. The ancient proto-hive made a deal with the worms for power. It was through a pact with the worms that the proto-hive got powerful enough to launch their galactic conquest. See the similarity? Ahamkara required a payment or deal for their power, and so did the worms. Still think it is a coincidence? Look at their speech patterns. "Reality is a fine flesh, oh general ours. Let us feast of it."-A Worm God "Reality is the finest flesh, oh bearer mine. And are you not… hungry?"- An Ahamkara. "It’s dead, but it still speaks to me. It says: listen closely, oh vengeance mine…"- A Worm God "Give me your arm, oh bearer mine. Let me help you fill the world with teeth." - An Ahamkara They speak similarly, and even show the same views on things, such as what reality truly is. Is it possible that the Worms and the Ahamkara are the same, or at least closely related? Could it be that in times even before ancient, that they were on species, and when darkness and light came, they couldn't collectively decide on who to follow, and there was a split between two factions of the species. Those who sided with Darkness, the Worms, and those who sided with the light, the Ahamkara? They are similar in build, speech, power, and views. I don't believe this is a mere coincidence. But that begs the question, if the Ahamkara were as powerful as the godly worms, how did us guardians drive them to extinction? And here is yet another theory of mine, either the Ahamkara let us kill them, or they let us believe they are extinct. Look at the Bones of Eao. They posses gravity defying abilities, allowing for an extra jump, and clearly have Ahamkara bones on them. The description of them is "defy extinction" Not much more to go off on that part, but still, this is all a theory.
