As more Awesomenauts are added to the game, more information and details can be discovered through their backstory and upgrade descriptions. This page is meant to archive all known and less well known Awesomenauts lore, and will be updated with information every game update.

Assumptions, deductions or otherwise unknown information are represented by italic text.

Some information on this page is assumed to be from an alternate timeline, a parallel universe or is not technically canonical. when you see a (Ū), read "in an alternate timeline". Most information from skins fall under this category. Due to the vastness of space and variety of its creatures, some skin information is plausible, and is not marked.

Awesomenaut Races[ | ]

Known Species[ | ]

  • Humans (Lonestar, Raelynn, Ted McPain, Ksenia, Jimmy) from Earth. Also inhabit Planet Russia and Calias. Used to inhabit Earth but were driven away by the war between 1s and 0s. Eventually colonized the moon, renaming it Planet Russia. Human skin color ranges from dark brown to white. Lonestar is a genetically re-engineered human made by the Bovinion. Despite her complexion, Ksenia is a human.[1] Kremzons think Humans reek of cheese & garlic. Human caucasoids are incapable of jumping very high.
  • Monkeys (Yuri) from Earth. Humanoid creatures with a hair and covered with hair. Fond of bananas.[2] Most monkeys are usually of low intelligence, but can be given super-intellect by traveling through a black hole.
  • Kremzons (Leon) from Aiguillon. Also referred to as Chameleons.[3] Kremzons are a lizardy, crude and devious species that spend most of their time in bustling cabarets and smokey cafés.[4] A curious and reckless species that live throughout the universe, and have a habit of losing hands. An ancient civilization of Kremzons predicted the date of the end of the world with their technology, incorrectly.
  • Frogs (Froggy G, Dizzy) from Ribbit IVPossibly related to or interchangeable with Amphibians. Territorial humanoids. Born as tadpoles and presumably metamorphosise[5] to a common upright form.[6] Froggy and Dizzy carry a container of water on their backs to increase their mobility. Fond of 1980s Earth style hip-hop, as well as earth style urban gangster culture and like to maintain the culture of this period. Frog eyes are evolved enough to see colors beyond the average color spectrum.
  • Namala (Coco) from Okeanos. A zen species. Uses technology very minimally, mainly to waveboard.[7] The Namala invented the Steeldrum, as a part of their musical culture. Beautiful Namalan actors star in intergalactic soap operas. Their skin color can range from purple to gold.
  • Skroggles (Gnaw) from ???. An omnivorous species that invades and infests planets. Highly adaptable. Can vomit acid and plant-like creatures called Weedlings. Can infect other creatures making them look similar to a skroggle. Skroggles acknowledge paternal roles.[8] Female Skroggles are attracted to the smell of the male's vomit.[9]
  • Plankton (Vinnie) from Okeanos. Small creatures with blue skin, short stubby limbs, jagged mouths and no eyes. Plankton are incredibly unintelligent, being so low in the Official Galaxial IQ test, they've become a standard of low intelligence. This may explain Vinnie's recklessness and disregard for the law. Vinnie may be an outlier from the rest of his kind. He may have also been super-evolved by Okeanos' water.
  • Pufferfish (Spike) from Okeanos. Pufferfish are able to shoot the spikes off their body, and instantly regrow a new set. These spikes come from the pufferfish's spine. Pufferfish may contain extra spikes internally that allow them to do this. Pufferfish are capable of squirting a misty cloud. Spike has full control over this ability. Pufferfish require the use of a Chrome File for hygienic purposes. Despite Spike's near weightlessness and squishyness, Puffersish have vertebrae and large ribs. The spikes on a pufferfish above the face grow out of their skulls.[10] This internal diagram may be inaccurate and from a parallel universe
  • Entin (Genji) from Eiron. Currently inhabit Pulvan, Eiron's fungi moon.[11] A greedy caterpillar-like race with vicious hunger and high libidos. Capable of reproducing quickly. Viewed as pests, causing remaining Entin to turn to spirituality to avoid being exterminated. Feature massive mouths, with a large circular row of sharp white teeth. It is not known whether its antenna are its eyes or not. If this is not the case, Entin may be blind.

The Krakens helped open the Northern Flying Seas of Okeanos for commercial transport.[14] One hosts a frequent television program.
  • Gelati (Scoop) from ???. The Gelati are brilliant craftsmen famous for their delicious Castle Ice Cream. The gelatinous knights gather snow and ice from different planets and mix them with sweet candies and fruits. The Gelati are advanced enough to have seen the threat of invasion of their universe from the Omicron breach, and were able to mobilize and combat it. Young Gelati receive a Snow Shovel from their fathers as a coming-of-age ritual. Despite having no visible internal anatomy and lack any facial features other than a mouth, Gelati blush red.[15] The Gelati operate under various "houses". Some houses include The Triple Scoop and The Frozen Teat.
  • Mon'Grah (Skree) from Okeanos, exiled from Okeanos due to their unsavory relationship with technology. Mon'Grah share a common ancestor with the Namala originating from Okeanos[16].

  • Luxuxi (Ix) from Luxor. Ethereal beings who are typically peaceful, passive, and deeply spiritual. Possess psychic powers, allowing them to connect with energy crystals found on Luxor. Luxuxi are able to fuse their life force with these crystals to gain physical form and heightened powers, although this is frowned upon within their culture. They can consume radiation without any side effects. Many Luxuxi may have been killed by the harvesting of Luxor by intergalactic megacorporations.
  • Bovinions (Deadlift)alternatively spelled Bovinian from Bovinia. Cow-like humanoids. Poefluma flies are attracted to their smell. Bovinions passed down fables to their young about a cowboy boogeyman. A wealthy Bovinion created Sheriff Lonestar to imitate this fable. Lonestar escaped and wrangled every Bovinian on the planet, bringing them "out to pasture". This cataclysmic event was called "The Great Bovinion Wrangling". They create and export many products from their milk, Bovinian Skimmed Milk[19] and Bovinian Breastmilk[20] which, when chunky, goes well with cereal. They also make Bio Fuel Cells from their manure. Bovinions practice a currently unknown religion and use a cross as a holy symbol. Bovinion Priests create Milk Of Righteousness with their holy power.
  • Galspitters (Rocket), from ???. Small, green creatures known for their short temper and foul language. It's unknown what their head looks like.

Currently at war with the Scargi empire over a dispute regarding the status of Shplumbs (whether they are fruits of vegetables). Chilasi skin color may naturally not be gold, as Qi'Tara rubs golden/yellow-colored shplumbs on her carapace. Royal chakrams are passed down from queen to queen, and are currently owned by Qi'tara as she is next in line for the throne.
  • Scargos (Snork Gunk) from Gromdom. Also referred to as Scargi and Scarg. Snail-like aliens with brownish-yellow skin. Their national Sport is "Conchball". Salt is deadly to them. Scargos share their planet with the Chilasi. They have waged a war on the arachnid planet Smertzspin and still wage a war against the Chilasi over the status of Shplumbs (whether they are fruits of vegetables). They have a multi-racial military, consisting of at least one Galspitter, Frog, a Chilasi and crocodile alien.

Remarks[ | ]

  • There have been more Awesomenauts, but Genji may have eaten them.
  • Despite the Omicron Dimension being closed off from the Omega Dimension (Until the Starstorm Breach), nicotine could still be shipped from the planet Kapral.

  • The entirety of Zork Industries is worth 370 solar.
  • Assuming Admiral Swiggins is biologically similar to earth cephalopods, he is one of two Awesomenauts that has a beak[52], the other being Rocco.
  • Kewlu, an ancient Kraken ruled over Okeanos at some point in the past. This implies that Kraken may originally be from Okeanos, and inhabited Titan later. The Kraken may have been exiled similar to the Mon'Grah.
  • Despite coming from an alternate dimension where "wars are not fought with weapons", E.S.C. Rocco fights using a weapon. He may have changed fighting styles upon changing dimensions.
  • The Killer Koalas, a team of aliens of varying species from different planets, worked for the Earths Liberation Front despite having no known connections to Earth, or stake in its well being. May have been recruited and paid handsomely.
  • The Queen that rules over the Gelati looks unlike Scoop (blue, has hair, eyes and separate legs). The Gelati may be reigned over by a different species. The look of the Gelati may vary significantly between individuals. May just be a very inaccurate doll.
  • Luxor is referred to as both a moon and a planet. Ix may choose to consider his homeworld a planet. This may have also simply been a mistake on Ronimo's part.
  • Conducting Gel may come from Grease Lightning Snails.
  • The Sisterhood of Coba may have used a Darkenstone to extract a soul of a Bottlenose Dolphin to make a Demonic Animal Necklace.
  • Entin and Caterpillars are very similar, and may be related, or interchangeable.
  • The Giant Worms of Sorona may be Sand Worms.
  • Mon'grah may use an Ornamented Pipe to burn weedlings.
  • Vinnie may or may not have eyes.
  • Skroggle spit is considered both a great hair gel and a bad hair gel.
  • 'The Grint' is referred to both as a single person, and as a group.
  • Omeans may be related to Frogs[53]

Theories[ | ]

  • The Namala know the secrets behind the gift giving water of Okeanos, and want to keep it for themselves.

The Mon'Grah were a peaceful species that lived in harmony with the Namala, sharing cultures and music. Both species enjoied tinkering with technology. But the Mon'Grah might have flown too close to the sun with their water rescearch. The Mon'Grah have tried many many times to harness the power of the magical waters of Okeanos, but have failed every time. In an effort to protect the secrets of the magical waters of Okeanos, the Elder Namalan started a smear campaign against the Mon'Grah saying "their technomancy is going too far", and as a result "they are no longer welcome in Okeanos", their technomancy in reality being no problem at all, but halting their water rescearch by proxy.

The Mon'Grah left Okeanos, but with grudges, turning from peaceful technomancy to harmful technomancy. They try to use dark magic to take revenge on the Namala for what they did to this day.

The Mon'Grah being away from Okeanos and the strong, secret powers that it exerts, slowly wore down their minds as a whole while hitchhiking around the galaxy alone, causing them to slowly go mad and obsess over junk they find, treating basic objects like powerful spiritual relics, and find escapism in psychedelics like Weedlings and other drugs.

The Namalan Elders still today put on a front when questioned on the matter, still claiming that "the Mon'Grah were going too far with their technology, and could have become dangerous to all who lived here", when they know that it was to protect the secrets of the waters. The Namalan civilians being none the wiser, being fed lies by the people in power, and too distracted by their peaceful paradise.

The timeline of the Mon'Grah can even be seen in Skree's upgrade rows, the first row shows starting at Okeanos and the many things they saw while living there, then being exiled and having to pack up, the second upgrade row showing their hatred of the Namala for what they did and the evidence of their rescearch, as well as where their minds turned during this transition, the third row being their obsessive psychosis coming through with hording and delusions of power.

  • The Frozen Yoghurt wars happened because the Penguins were defending their planet.

It's known that the Gelati travel around the galaxy looking for ingredients for their ice creams. In Scoops blurb it says "The gelatinous knights gather snow and ice from different planets and mix them with sweet candies and fruits." This war was called the Frozen Yoghurt War because the planet Rill is made of Frozen Yoghurt, and the Gelati liked the taste so much they wanted to take it all for themselves. They liked frozen yoghurt so much that they tried to wipe out Rill's only advanced species, the ones that would defend their environment the most, the Penguins.

The Penguins tried to defend their home, but were outnumbered, outranked and "outgunned" by the far more advanced Gelati Knights. Eventually the Penguins sucumbed to their obsessed enemy, some defecting sides in an attempt to save themselves, others surrendered but were cruelly frozen and used as decorations as an example to others. This is not the only "evidence" of the Gelati's cruelty for the sake of a sweet treat, hiding behind their "justice" as an excuse for their crimes.

  • Skroggles reproduce by infesting other species with their DNA. Every Skroggle was initially a different species.

Skroggles, despite their relatively low intelligence and lack of advancements in technology are capable of interplanetary travel. Presumably they do this by having some of the smaller Skroggles invade curious explorers ships when they come to investigate strange infested planets, then use their ship to jump planet and further spread their Skroggle reign.

When a Skroggle makes it to a new planet, their first instinct it to lay low, hide, and infest. Skroggles are highly adaptive, so new environmental factors are easy to overcome. Now obviously a small group of Skroggles can't destroy an entire planet, so they have to reproduce and make more Skroggles. They act slowly, while they are still unnoticed, contaminating water supplies and planting weedlings in windy places to send the spores all around the world. They make more Skroggles by infecting the planets inhabitants, and forcing them to their side.

When a creature has been infected by a Skroggle, it changes in appearance and behavior. It becomes more aggressive, and gains the mindset and biology of a Skroggle (grows more eyes, their arms shrivel and come closer to the body, their skin darkens, they vomit acid and grow a weedling gland), and gains Skroggle instinct: to infest then destroy. The process is slow and painful, rewriting a creatures DNA, infecting their brain and mind, erasing their past and rewriting their future. Skroggles with their rewritten brains refer to their infector as their "Pappa", and take their name.

Now with a small army of Skroggles on the new planet, they are free to take over and destroy. They attack their old kind, destroy structures with acid and powerful jaws, contaminate the entire planet with infectious juices and Weedling plants. This process continues until the entire planet is destroyed and is only inhabited by Skroggles, any retaliation being immediately tended to, and survivors outnumbered. Once a planet becomes fully infected, the Skroggles lay dormant throughout the planet in wait. The process of luring curious explorers to the planet to allow for more infestation continues.

  • Gnaw was originally a Kremzon, infected to research the effects it would have on their species.

Kremzonian scientists, in an attempt to research the Skroggles, decided the best course of action would be to infect one of their own, to see how being infected by a Skroggle changed them. They brought a volunteer to an infected planet, wearing a tracking tag around his neck so they could find him later, a red collar with an emblem emblazoned with a red lightning bolt.

When they went to bring him back to their research facility (not on Aiguillon for obvious safety reasons), he had already changed dramatically. His arms had shrunken, his eyes were a glowing yellow, his skin was turning from blue to green, his posture and body shifted forward. He had forgotten who he was completely, asked to be brought back home repeatedly, and referred to himself as "Gnaw".

They studied the transformed Kremzonian in their research facility. As he matured into a Skroggle, his head spikes dried and turned red and sharp, he grew a third eye, his jaw grew larger and more powerful, his tail sprouted at the tip and he grew two large plant-like arms from his shoulders.

A few days had passed, and Gnaw was getting restless. His instincts were kicking in. Infest and destroy. So he did just that. He took over the facility in a matter of hours with his weedlings and acidic destruction.

Wanting to escape the traumatic experience, he was "befriended" by a gang of bikers and left the researchers planet. Gnaw was tame at this point, as all Skroggles become in captivity, away from the rest of their kind. He no longer wanted to infest, only destroy. />


  • The end of First AI War stagnated technology.

War time is tragic, but it always brings a need for industry. The AI Wars are between nearly identical armies of robots with limitless soldiers, so the only winner can be the one who evolves fastest. The Zero Core was situated on AI Station 101 during the first war, which was a research station. This station also had active scientists doing work.

The destruction of the Zero Core may have brought the end of the war, but it also destroyed an important research center and killed many scientists. Furthermore, it removed the reason for the lost discoveries to even be needed. Life in the Awesomenauts universe is generally quite good: exercise hasn't been needed for over 500 years, civilizations are booming, and almost all menial labour is handled by robots and Zurians.

The result? A derelict, experimental flagship is one of the most powerful super-weapons in the galaxy. The robots on board have some incredibly advanced technology. Protoblasters from the first AI War are able to easily keep pace with modern weapons. In fact, everything is so stagnant that Raelynn could flawlessly reintegrate into society after a 500 year cryostasis.

The replacement of the Zero Core wasn't actually done for money: it was done in an effort to push technological limits again, possibly by Voltar himself (it does say his motives for fighting are mysterious).
