The '''Aurum''' | The '''Aurum''' (オーラム ''Ōramu'') are a race of malevolent extraterrestrial beings intorduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. They are attracted to natural disturbances in the universe, such as the war between the [[Forces of Nature]] and the [[Underworld Army]]. They are the central enemies during a three-part mini story arc that centers on their invasion of [[Angel Land]], effectively forcing [[Hades]], [[Viridi]], and [[Palutena]] to join forces to face a greater threat. The sun god [[Pyrrhon]] also serves as an exclusive character to this mini arc, acting as a relatively useless helper at first and becoming the main antagonist towards the climax. The names of the Aurum are unable to be pronounced by human speech, thus Palutena takes some "creative liberties" to identify the Aurum. | ||

They are mainly control centers, ordering the production of more Aurum troops, and are described as having no actual will of their own. These centers do not talk and are not mobile.

The Aurum Brain is the main mastermind of the Aurum, described as having no actual will of its own, living only to give endless streams of orders. It takes control of Pyrrhon, who begins fighting for the Aurum, despite his intentions to make them fight for him, and attacks Pit. He attacks with fire while under Aurum control, but his attacks seem to be less powerful than before. | |||

*The Aurum share many similarities with the Aparoids from the [[Nintendo]] game, ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]''. Both are alien races that operate as a hive mind and speak collectively. In addition, both races have the ability to create clones of organisms that they assimilate. | *The Aurum share many similarities with the Aparoids from the [[Nintendo]] game, ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]''.

*As Viridi is a fortune teller, and is unfamiliar with the passage from the Book of Divine Prophecy that Pyrrhon quoted, it is possible that Pyrrhon, given his knowledge about the Aurum, summoned the Aurum himself, and was just covering his tracks. | *As Viridi is a fortune teller, and is unfamiliar with the passage from the Book of Divine Prophecy that Pyrrhon quoted, it is possible that Pyrrhon, given his knowledge about the Aurum, summoned the Aurum himself, and was just covering his tracks. | ||
