The Worm Gods are the Ahamkara

I am sure I am wrong but the worm gods seem almost identical to the ahamkara "After a year of traveling the sea, the sisters salvaged an ancient, high-tech ship they called "the needle" from the Shvubi Maelstrom. Xi Ro wanted to sell it at the Kaharn Atoll, a gathering place of Fundament's many species, in order to raise enough money to hire a mercenary army, but Aurash wanted to take command of the ship. Sathona sided with Aurash, goaded on by a worm that their father had kept; the worm had washed up on the Osmium Court's shores and was seemingly dead, but Sathona could hear it speak.[16] The sisters spent the next two years reactivating the ship, until Aurash decided to use it to fulfill its intended purpose: she wanted to dive to Fundament's core in the hopes of learning a secret that would prevent the Syzygy.[17] As they descended, the sisters encountered a vast creature called the Leviathan, a disciple of the Traveler. The Leviathan warned the sisters against proceeding further, telling them that they faced a choice between the Sky and the Deep, the Light and the Darkness, the way of life and the way of death. The sisters rejected the Leviathan, unable to accept that allowing their people to suffer was the better way, and instead decided to follow the worm Sathona had saved, which urged them to continue diving.[18][19] The Pact "We want to help you, Princes. We offer to each of you a bargain... a symbiosis." —Yul, the Honest Worm[20] Deep within the Fundament Ocean, the sisters encountered the Worms, who drew their power from the Darkness itself: Yul, the Honest Worm, and Eir, Xol, Ur, and Akka, the Virtuous Worms. The Worm Gods claimed that they had lived and grown in Fundament's depths for millions of years, trapped by the Leviathan and the Traveler. They had called many species to Fundament, hoping one would be tenacious enough to find them. They offered Xi Ro, Sathona, and Aurash immortality if they would allow themselves to be hosts for the Worms' larvae, with the caveat that if the sisters ceased to obey their natures (Xi Ro's desire to test her strength, Sathona's cunning, Aurash's inquisitiveness), their Worms would consume them. Furthermore, the stronger the sisters became, the greater their Worms' appetites would be.[20] The sisters accepted the pact.[21] Xi Ro took the knight morph and became Xivu Arath;[22] Sathona took the mother morph and became Savathûn;[23] and Aurash took the king morph and became Auryx, the King of the Hive." Btw the leviathan mention here is like a sea monster not the raid Ahamkara Earth Venus Jupiter[1] Goals: Grant wishes in exchange for power. Distinctions: Incredible knowledge Dragonic Avian Scaled Notable individuals: Eao Other Names: "Dragons" "And thus the Ahamkara were made extinct, their call silenced, their solipsistic flatteries erased, their great design - if it ever existed - broken. Of this you can be assured, oh reader mine. " —Grimoire description [2] The Ahamkara were a species that first appeared in the Solar System after the Traveler arrived.[3] Based on their remains, the Ahamkara were avian or draconic in appearance, possessing scales and sharp beaks.[4] They were studied on Venus by the Ishtar Academy because of their unique genome, which contained unknown new proteins. They were also noted to be a parasitic species.[5] The Ahamkara were said to be wish-fulfilling "dragons", sought out by many Guardians in search of knowledge and power. But after much debate it was decided that the bargains made with these creatures came at too high a price,[6][7] beginning a Great Hunt in which the Ahamkara were made all but extinct.[8][3] Survivors are rumored to have been spotted as far out as Jupiter.[1] Ahamkara bones were subsequently incorporated into charms and new varieties of armor. These were known to cause auditory hallucinations in their bearers, as if the bones were speaking to them.[4] The name "Ahamkara" comes from the Sanskrit term for attachment to one's ego. Both the armor descriptions and the Grimoire cards end with the same phrase, "oh bearer/reader mine." This speech pattern bears some similarity to that of the Worm Gods referenced in the Books of Sorrow, suggesting some sort of connection between the two groups of entities https://www.destinypedia.com/Ahamkara https://www.destinypedia.com/Hive
