The Jovians are a humanoid species that inhabit the Jovians, a collection of worlds beyond the Reef.
According to Xûr, the Jovians were once human but were radically transformed to a far greater extent than even the Awoken; the Nine themselves are implied to be responsible for this change.[1] Additionally, Xûr claims that while the Awoken had no choice in being changed, the Jovians did have a choice.[2] He speaks of being made of cells with the memories of the past and coming from the dust.[3][4] The Light can cause pain to him.[5]
Trivia[edit]
- The tentacled visage of Jovians bears a resemblance to the creatures found in the Cthulhu Mythos.
