Ultra Sanctuary

Ultra Sanctuary is a dimension within Ultra Space, home to the Poipole and Naganadel species. Once populated by abundant flora and these Ultra Beasts, it is now a dark, barren wasteland that no longer provides suitable habitat.

## Overview

Ultra Sanctuary is one of the many dimensions within Ultra Space that housed Ultra Beasts. Specifically, it was known to be the habitat of thousands of Poipole and Naganadel. Before its destruction, the sanctuary was a bright world with many flowers and abundant with short, soft grass. Despite the sky always being overcast, it was lit up by a luminescent light source. Being in the light does not give warmth, but the sanctuary’s temperature is “room temperature”. At “night”, this light dims until it brings darkness.

Like the other worlds in Ultra Space, the sanctuary is enclosed with dense fog. Attempting to enter this hazy border will feel like you’re moving forward, but looking back you haven’t moved at all from your starting point.

As it was heavily isolated, the residents were kept unaware of the outside world. This led to a specific vocabulary used by the Ultra Beasts and almost exclusively speaking using their second set of vocal cords, which only those of the species family can understand. Residents tend to address companions with “Dear”. Those who began to gain awareness were silently exiled, leaving only a pure utopia. Moves are rarely used; most residents possess none at all. Additionally, Poipole and Naganadel do not experience any attraction and only consider close ones as companions.

Several caves around the dimension are known to birth Poipole with a poisonous liquid produced from stalactites. It drips down for five months and forms an oval that hatches a Poipole a week after. A particular cave creates those who become a queen or king of the hive. When Ultra Sanctuary fell, these stalactites stopped secreting the liquid.

### Invasion and destruction

One of the residents, Irk, was one of the few who knew of the world outside his own. It would frequently travel in and out, soon coming in contact with the Prism Followers. Believing that his people were too ignorant and therefore useless, he betrayed his hive and allowed the Prisms access to the sanctuary. Their plan was to recruit the hive to aid in their side of the DarkLight War.

Two of the Prism Followers were sent to scope out the dimension and learn of its landscape and residents, feigning kindness and wellbeing. Once this was completed, Infinity traveled there himself to converse with Queen Stylus, but it adamantly refused his repurpose of the hive. Not taking her answer, he brought about Ultra Sanctuary’s destruction. He and his followers slaughtered thousands of the Beasts that tried to flee before burning down the central nest, killing the queen in the process. Being a Necrozma, Infinity then sucked the light from Ultra Sanctuary, leaving it as the desolate wasteland it is now. Bodies of those who didn’t escape litter the ground and top of the gorge.

Only two survivors are known, Nadel and Traipse, but Traipse was killed not long after revealing himself to his fellow Ultra Beast. Others who escaped were not expected to live long due to their poor knowledge outside of the hive. When the ruins were visited, it was revealed Irk tended to survey the area to shoot down any survivors that may have managed to return to their home. However, it stated no one showed up but Nadel.
