Arburian Pelarota

* Standing
* Curled

**Arburian Pelarotas** are a species from the destroyed planet Arburia.

## Appearance

Arburian Pelarotas are hulking, broad-shouldered aliens covered in natural, yellow armor plating on their back, shoulders, and the backs of their arms. They are mostly white with black on their upper half and have four claws on both of their hands, having a color scheme and claws similar to that of a panda.

When Arburian Pelarotas turn into a sphere, they roll up into a ball, with their backplates and the plates on their hands covering them. Their sphere form has semi-circular stripes across their body, with black lines around the circular plates, and their side plates are the plates on their shoulders.

Adults have the same appearance as children, only with sharper claws and small lines near their fingers.

## Abilities

* **Defensive Curl-** Arburian Pelarotas can curl themselves into a ball with their armored plating surrounding them, making them nearly impenetrable.
* **Rolling-** Arburian Pelarotas can roll at high speeds while in their defensive curl, making them able to collide with things with a ton of force.
* **Magnetic Sensing-** Arburian Pelarotas are able to sense where they are going while rolling using the magnetic field of the planet they are currently on.
* **Enhanced Ricocheting-** Arburian Pelarotas are capable of bouncing off surfaces, suffering little to no damage.
* **Enhanced Strength-** Arburian Pelarotas are capable of lifting and throwing enemies that are bigger than them.
* **Sharp Claws-** Arburian Pelarotas claws are sharp enough to cause a moderate amount of damage.
* **Armor Plates-** Arburian Pelarotas' armor allows them to take the impact of even reentry to the Earth's orbit without damage.

## Weaknesses

* **Momentum-** Arburian Pelarotas are subjected to the physical laws of reflection and conservation of momentum, meaning that they have difficulty stopping or controlling their direction if they picks up speed.
* **Heavy Plating-** Arburian Pelarotas' bipedal forms are top-heavy, making them very slow. However, they can use their ball forms to enhance their agility.
* **Sticky Surface-** Arburian Pelarotascan be held in place by sticky surfaces.

#### Alternate Universes

* Rollaway (Dimension 23)
* Cannonbolt (Gweniverse)

## History and Society

The Arburian Pelarotas had celebrations where people dressed up in costumes.

## Etymology

A combination of "Arburia", their homeworld, "pelota", Spanish for ball and "rotation".

## Trivia

* There is a subspecies of Arburian Pelarotas known as the Vulpinic Tortugans, who were stranded on Vulpin and eventually evolved to better survive Vulpin's harsh environment.
* When rolled up, Arburian Pelarotas become like motorized wheels that can move at great speed (because of chemicals in their exo-plates that reduce friction).
* An Arburian Pelarota's bipedal form is top-heavy, making them very unbalanced and clumsy because they are made to spin rather than walk.
