The Ahamkara are a species that appeared on Earth when the Traveler arrived. The Ahamkara was said to be a wish-fulfilling dragon, sought out by many Guardians in search of power. However, it was decided that the bargains made with these creatures came at too high a price, so they were hunted to extinction during the Great Ahamkara Hunt. Based on their remains, the Ahamkara were Avian in appearance, possessing both feathers and sharp beaks.

[i]from the Grimoire:[/i] [b]The Great Ahamkara Hunt[/b] After great deliberation it was determined that the Ahamkara be made extinct. It was not an easy decision. Power had been obtained from the bargains, and the City needed power. Knowledge had been gleaned, and the Ahamkara knew answers to questions no one had known to ask. But the price was too high. And no edict or forbearance seemed to stop Guardians from seeking them out, driven by hope, or vengeance, or despair. The call had to be silenced. So the Great Hunt did its work. 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.
