Eliatrope (race)

Eliatropes are a humanoid race that are not native to the World of Twelve and do not worship the same gods as humans. Their most recognizable characteristic is the large hat worn by every individual, presumably to hide the one non-human feature that is visible on their heads. All of those hats have two "ears" of varying sizes and shapes, that have been shown to move based on an Eliatrope's emotions, which has led most people to expect horns or an additional pair of ears.

Origins[]

The first Eliatropes were born after the goddess Eliatrope's second dance with the Great Dragon. The first six each had a Dragon twin, and each pair hatched from a Dofus. These first six Eliatropes and six Dragons, the firstborn, formed a Council that ruled over the Eliatrope civilization, whose other members incarnated naturally. All members of the Council are practically immortal as they can be reborn from their Dofus once both twins have died and their Wakfu has replenished. They are, however, reborn as babies with no memories of their past incarnations, except for Qilby who can recall all of his previous existences.

History[]

The only precise timeline given for the early ages of the Eliatropes is in the primitive era that happens millions of years ago before the creation of the Xelor Clock. At this point the Eliatropes were ruled by the Eliatrope council, at some point in time Chibi (a member of the council) would became the king of the eliatropes. Chibi had some form of foresight (seeing into the future), and he saw that he would soon die. With this revelation he chose Yugo, his brother, to be the next king of the Eliatropes.

MechasmsEpisode6 — Mechasms ravaging the Eliatrope homeworld

The next event in the timeline and in the lore is 10,000 years before Xelor's Clock, when Yugo was king and the Mechasms arrived on the Eliatropes' home planet. According to Krosmoz.com, they coexisted peacefully for centuries, but then the Mechasms initiated a war against the Eliatropes, after Qilby stole the heart of a Mechanism named Orgonax, using it to create the Eliacube. Unable to defend against the Mechasms, the Eliacube was used to construct a massive spaceship known as the Zinit, and the remaining Eliatropes fled the planet aboard the ship and searched for a new planet to call home.

Their search led them to what is now known as the World of Twelve, but long before the gods had found it and created human life on it. The Eliatropes founded the colony Vili, but peace was only temporary. Orgonax, an important member of the Mechasms, summoned by Qilby, located them and once again led an assault against their civilization, leading to the events of the Xbox Live Arcade game Islands of Wakfu. Yugo and the adult Eliatropes sent the Eliatrope children to the timeless dimension, Emrub, alongside noncombatant The Council Member, Balthazar. Yugo, Adamai, and Phaeris confront and imprisoned Qilby, taking his left arm in the process.

Despite the death of Adamai, Qilby's own dragon sister, Shinome, and his own injuries from the battle, Yugo entrusted Phaeris with Qilby and Shinome's Dofus, and goes to defeat Orgonax, being killed by the Mechasms. As a result, Nora and her Dragon twin Efrim are tasked with repelling the attack at all costs.

After Nora and Efrim are defeated by Orgonax, Nora uses the Eliacube to pray to her mother, who eradicated all things on the world with a wave of Wakfu, leaving only Phaeris and Grougaloragran. The planet becomes uninhabitable and Eliatrope history goes silent for millenia as most members of the Council have been killed and are recovering inside their Dofus, while the children are still safe but locked in Emrub under the watch of the Dragon Baltazar.

Outside of Emrub and N's incursion in the Age of the Dofus, it wasn't until Yugo was reborn in 969 that Eliatropes were seen in the World of Twelve, and by the end of the animated series' two seasons, he and Chibi remain the only two Eliatropes on the planet, still looking for a way to find a new home for their people and offer them a new beginning.

Powers[]

Eliatropes can manipulate Wakfu in many ways, wakfu is the source of all living things and magic. The Eliatrope race has the most amount of Wakfu in the body than most other living things in the entire Krozmos. This makes them extremely powerful in magic. They also possess other ablilities.

Flight: The Eliatropes have from birth the ability to fly. They can fly at high speeds, with no formal training, with the wings on their heads.
Portal Generation: Portals are one of the Eliatropes most basic ablilities. It allows them to telleport themselves and others to another location instantly.
Wakfu sense: Eliatropes can see the wakfu in living thing ,and wakfu currents in the earth. This sense enhances all their other senses.
Semi-immortal: One of the most common traits of the Eliatropes is their immortality. Eliatropes can live of millions of years without aging, due to the blood of the Great Dragon in their veins, but there are limits. They can still be killed, and only the first 6 can die and be reincarnated, via their Dofus.
Portal Dash: If an Eliatrope rapidly generates portals, passing through them consecutively will propel the Eliatrope at near unmatched speed in a stream of light.
Portal Blasts: When merging 2 portal together, they fire a powerful beam of energy. Older Eliatropes can take this further, creating multiple portals and shooting beams from them.
Wakfu Blasts: If they train enough, Eliatropes can create a destructive beam of pure wakfu energy from their palms.
Wakfu Weapon Creation: Eliatropes can manipulate the wakfu inside themselves, and generate weapons and shield.
Dimensional portal: Eliatropes if supplied with enough additional energy, can create a portal to another dimension.
Magic: Eliatropes all possess massive amounts of Wakfu, the source of all life and magic.
Battle Mode: This is not really a power more like an instinct that is seen in Yugo and Qilby. When an Eliatrope is in a serious fight, this form represents an increased focus in their speed, strength, and their Wakfu control. When the fight is over they are drained from the intense use of their wakfu. When in this state, markings cover their body. This form can be maintained almost permanently with a large enough energy source.

It is worth noting that while Eliatrope Dragons have been seen using Stasis (such as Adamaï in the animated series and Efrim in Islands of Wakfu), that ability is not known to extend to Eliatropes, with the exception of Yugo, who, in the season 4 trailer, wields a sword made of the energy.

Consistency issues[]

It is worth noting that the presence of Eliatrope Dragons on the World of Twelve in the Wakfu era, as well as the Eliatrope Dofus, is inconsistent with the genesis described in the Found Fragments, where Osamodas' Dragons created life on the otherwise barren planet, a process which included turning it into "nothing but a white-hot magma" and a "deflagration of shade and light [that] spread over the Universe." However, since Grougaloragran left Nora through a portal near the end of Islands of Wakfu, he and Phaeris may have spent time in Emrub before returning to the World of twelve.

The character N in general, and therefore all related content, is now considered non-canon due to legal issues involving Ankama and the artist who designed the character. All references to the character in the Dofus MMORPG were removed, and if the character does not exist, the entire premise of Les Gardiens is invalidated.

When Yugo visits Emrub and talks to Baltazar at the end of Wakfu season 2, the latter mentions that he and the Eliatrope children have been watching him for years, waiting for him to find them. Like the general look of Emrub in the cartoon, this is inconsistent with Les Gardiens's claim that the Eliatropes have no link to other dimensions and were taught that there was in fact nothing outside Emrub.

Notable individuals[]

Under the hat[]

Warning: This section contains spoilers related to the Wakfu animated series

Until 2012, no Eliatrope had been seen without a hat on. In the animated series, in particular, a few episodes referred to Yugo's refusal to expose his head. One notable example of this and the teasing that surrounded the character is the 8th episode of season 2, Chevalier Justice, where Yugo does remove his hat but only after his friends have turned around and closed their eyes, and he is then only shown from the neck down until he puts it back on.

In the very last episode of the second season, Yugo removes his hat while in the timeless dimension, followed by all of the lost Eliatrope children. The viewer can finally see that Eliatropes have small wings on their head, made of pure Wakfu. These wings allow them to levitate, without actually flapping them. It is not known whether their hats inhibit this ability, nor why they wear them among themselves (where the judgment of other races is not a factor).

Since only Eliatropes (and the Eliatrope Dragons Baltazar and Shinonome) were present, still no one in the World of Twelve has been exposed to the secret to this day.
