* FreezeRay: Taken Knights gain the ability to fire slowing and eventually freezing Stasis shots from their Boomers in ''Season of the Lost''.

* NoOntologicalInertia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]; even with the Taken King dead, the Taken are still a threat and appear in ''VideoGame/Destiny2'', [[spoiler: with Savathûn the Witch-Queen having usurped control over them via Quria, the Vex Mind given to her by Oryx. By the time of ''Season of the Lost'' however, with Quria gone, the Taken have fallen back under the control of the Darkness, who has lent them to[[WarGod Xivu Arath]] in her pursuit of her sister]].

* NoOntologicalInertia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]; even with the Taken King dead, the Taken are still a threat and appear in ''VideoGame/Destiny2'', [[spoiler: and they now seem to be serving Savathûn the Witch-Queen. Quria, the Vex Mind given to her by Oryx, seems to also be coordinating a number of them. By the time of ''Season of the Lost,'' with Quria gone, the Taken appear to be serving [[WarGod Xivu Arath]]]].

* FinalExamBoss: In ''Season of the Splicer'', [[spoiler:not only does the "Expunge: Delphi" mission plunges you into sections of past Expunge missions, but Quria's fighting style once challenged in person gives it traits of all three Oppressive Minds: like Fantis, its arena utilizes deployable cover and gravity cannons; its protection must be broken using the authentication key mechanic from Dikast's fight in Styx; and like Dimio, its barrier is tied to elite Vex, this time being a pair of giant Minotaurs]].

* ShieldedCoreBoss: Quria begins its fight with two sets of counter-rotating Hydra shields, one Vex and one Taken, giving it incredibly small damage windows in the beginning, but they each disappear when you destroy the respective guardian Minotaur. Of course, once it loses its shields, [[TurnsRed that's when it brings out the Deletion Fields]].

* FinalExamBoss: In ''Season of the Splicer'', [[spoiler:not only does the "Expunge: Delphi" mission plunges you into sections of past Expunge missions, but Quria's fighting style once challenged in person gives it traits of all three Oppressive Minds: it is a Hydra like Dimio, uses the mechanic from Dikast's fight in Tartarus, and has an arena with deployable cover like Fantis]].

* CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler: Is (seemingly) deleted from existence after being dismantled inside the Nexus during Expunge: Delphi. It can also inflict this itself by hurling walls of deletion protocols that, judging by the [[HaveANiceDeath name for it in the death screen]], disintegrate everything they touch from spacetime.]] [[spoiler:Osiris also states that those same walls can destroy all matter they touch; it's unknown if he meant that non-literally, or if they really ''do'' destroy matter, which goes against a fundamental law of the universe that matter cannot be destroy. Knowing the Vex, and the Taken, the latter might be possible]].

* CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler: Is (seemingly) deleted from existence after being dismantled inside the Nexus during Expunge: Delphi. It can also inflict this itself by hurling walls of deletion protocols that, judging by the [[HaveANiceDeath name for it in the death screen]], deintegrate everything they touch from spacetime]].

* CompositeCharacter: In ''Season of the Splicer'', [[spoiler:its fighting style once challenged in person gives it traits of all three Oppressive Minds: it is a Hydra like Dimio, uses the mechanic from Dikast's fight in Tartarus, and has an arena with deployable cover like Fantis]].

!!Quria, the Dreaming Mind, formerly Blade Transform

* GodhoodSeeker: Its ultimate goal: take advantage of the sword logic and bootstrap itself to godhood by ''killing everything''. In Truth to Power, [[spoiler: Quria ([[UnreliableNarrator maybe]]) outright proclaims this once it explains that it had discovered a way to simulate Light.]]
