The Pouka

Poukas[1] are small airborne fish-like entities native to the Neptunian city of Neomuna.

History

The origins of the Pouka remain unclear; they appear to native to Neomuna, and have a close relationship with the people of the city. They appear to be primarily composed of a flowing quicksilver-like substance that resembles Neomuni nanotechnology, suggesting that they may be creations of the Neomuni themselves. The nanotechnology contained within Quicksilver Storm identifies Elisabeth Bray's pouka by its species, specifically it being a juvenile, so this may hint towards pouka being a native species or creation of the Neomuni thanks to this foreknowledge.[2].

Beyond Light

A Pouka was encountered by Elisabeth Bray on an abandoned space station near Pluto's orbit, and would later accompany her on Europa.[3] Judging from her interactions with it, it does not appear to speak, only make simple cries. It appears to have performed reconnaissance for her, as Eris Morn spotted it hanging around her camp during Season of Arrivals, mistaking it for a Ghost.[4] Drifter, as with all things, appears to distrust the small being, as he and Eris discovered it alone at the Beyond camp on Europa.[5]

Trivia

  • The origin of the word "pouka" may lie in two things. It may either originate from a proto-Slavic word for "moral"[6], or a spirit that brings various fortunes, from Celtic myth and legend.[7]
