Malok, Pride of Oryx is a Grimoire card from the original Destiny (Destiny 1), found under Enemies → The Taken. Grimoire cards held most of the game's lore and were read on Bungie.net and in the companion app, not in the game itself.
Card text
Malok! Cunning Malok, sly and slippery!
Savathûn begat you to betray me
To poison slowly, gnaw from within
Liar Malok!
You are meant to tithe upon Oryx
To feed your maker with secret blight
Your secret is two lies
You betrayed your maker; your mother
You hid yourself from Savathûn
The tithing does not reach her jaws
Your Thrall strength now is Acolyte strength
Your Acolyte strength now is Knight strength
Your thieving pride is known and fed
Malok! Listen —
I took you from your mother, my sister
Your shape is new
This shape is poison — the shape of secrets
I name you Malok, which means My Poison
A prize to taunt sister Savathûn
Steal now for me
Savathûn begat you to betray me
To poison slowly, gnaw from within
