Ahamkara

The Ahamkara were a mysterious aliens species in Destiny.

Physiology
According to the Ishtar Academy studied the Ahamkara were an interest of study due to their unique genome, which contained unknown new proteins. They were also noted to be a parasitic species. Based on their remains, the Ahamkara were avian or draconic in appearance, possessing scales and sharp beaks.

History
The Ahamkara arrived in the Sol System after the Traveler visited. After the Collapse the Ahamkara regarded aswish-fulfilling "dragons". They were sought out by many Guardians in search of knowledge and power. Over time the bargain made with these creatures came at too high a price. The Guardians launched the Great Ahamkara Hunt rendering the species extinct.

However reports of the extinction may have been exaggerated as several Guardians have reported strange hallucinations connected to their Ahamkara made gear and rumors of sightings as far out as Jupiter.
