Destiny Lore: The Scorn

Fikrul, the fanatic

The Scorn are created from deceased Fallen, reanimated by Fikrul, the fanatic through the use of Dark Ether and transformed into warped, undead monstrosities. Described as "frenzied, bloodthirsty puppets" by Petra Venj, they are unwaveringly loyal to Fikrul, the fanatic (a disgraced Archon) and several other Barons, and throw themselves into combat with little care for self-preservation. Many Scorn have died and been resurrected multiple times, becoming increasingly deranged each time, coupled with progressive physical changes that eventually turn them into bestial Screebs (arachnid-like Scorn that travel in packs, and self-detonate near their victims).

Scorn vary drastically in size and form, with Abominations in particular nearly being the size of a Hive Ogre. Many Scorn have docked lower arms as a remnant of their previous status as Dregs. Rather disturbingly, some Scorn classes, including Ravagers and Abominations, seem to also lack heads.
