Annihilator Totems are Hive constructs found in Crota's netherworld and Basilica that appear to act as security measures. Two are located adjacent to bridge pedestals and Brands. When a bridge pedestal is activated by a Guardian, or the Brand of the Weaver/Unraveler is picked up, the nearby Annihilator Totems begin to charge and will eventually release a blast of energy that kills any Guardians in the area. Annihilator Totems can be suppressed by a Guardian standing in close proximity to them, allowing the bridge to finish forming and for the Glyph to complete without Guardians perishing.
