The '''Aurum''' make up a race of malevolent extraterrestrial beings that are attracted to natural disturbances in the universe, such as the war between the [[Forces of Nature]] and the [[Underworld Army]] that occurs during ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. 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 '''Aurum''' make up a race of malevolent extraterrestrial beings that are attracted to natural disturbances in the universe, such as the war between the [[Forces of Nature]] and the [[Underworld Army]] that occurs during ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''.

The name of the Aurum are unable to be pronounced by human speech, thus Palutena takes some "creative liberties" to identify the Aurum. | ||

*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. | ||
