The **Amogus** were an ancient race of Bipedal, armless vertebrates that have been recorded to have made contact with the Chozo, and were known for cannibalism, as well as their iconic appearance. To this day, scientists are still decrypting the ancient hieroglyphs left behind by those who were drove mad by hallucinations of these beings.

## History

The Amogus date as far back as 2020, nearly 200,000 years old. In recent years, Scholars have been theorizing about the meanings of the images and texts left behind by the ancient Humans who have interacted with them.

### First Contact

One night, an officer working a late shift at a museum of archeology noticed the cracked screen of an old computing system suddenly light up, and upon it, one word arises from the battered code: Amogus. They do not know what this word means. They ponder it deeply. They scour the ancient tomes, desperate to understand the message's mystifying origin. It drives them mad. Is it a primeval cipher? The motto of a bygone civilization? A message from God? Night after night they study it by candlelight. They flip through pages in books so old, the slightest cough would turn the paper to a fine off-white powder. The answer is nowhere to be found. And then they are struck by a revelation: "I was not meant to know this word. Its esoteric nature escapes my grasp for a reason. What if its meaning is too enlightening to bear? With this revelation comes anger. Spite. Despair. Why shouldn't I understand it?! What cosmic forces are there at play to keep me from such knowledge?!" In a fit of desperate rage, they shatter the device against a wall and exclaim, arms raised to the heavens: "This is literally 1984!" Silence... Their pleas are unanswered. Sadly, in the end, their inability to unlock the word's meaning drives them to suicide. Its secrets are never known. So I ask you this: is it better to die having never understood the true mind-bending nature of Amogus, or to be driven mad by the little spaceman in his blood-red suit?

The Incident was caught on camera, and the Federation Archive of History was notified immediately, and begun a long investigation into internet archives to find and decipher the meaning of Amogus.

### References in Religous Texts

The Current theory of amogus's origin date is contended by potential references in earlier manuscripts.

## Biology

Using the remains found, Scientists have made several assumptions about the Biology of the species when alive. The placement of the mouth is rather odd, as the digestive system would be facing upside-down, relying on a sphincter-esque intestinal tract. The mandible-esque appendage sticking out from the spinal cord is not designed for movement, suggesting some kind of sac or pouch attached to the rear. The most common theory is that the heart and lungs are stored here. The legs seem to be absent of toes, suggesting stump-like appendages. The skull is very much Cyclopean in nature, with the brain either being part of the eye, or being pushed far back into the skull, with a much different shape than most sentients.

## Among Us Potion

The Among Us potion is a mysterious elixir that has unknown effects. The only known documentation is from a strange recalling of drinking one:

*Today I saw an imposter being sus. I asked him “are you the imposter” and he said “stop being sus bro” so I went to my mom and she asked why I was running to emergency meeting table. I said because red sus, and she said OMG SUS YOU SAID SUS YOU'RE IMPOSTER then i watched a pewdiepie live stream and he was playing amogus. I said in the chat “why are you playing amogus. He said because sus 🤔🤔🤔 then I was at the gas station and found a garbage can that looked like an amogus. I asked the manager why it looked like amogus and he said because sus 🤣🤣🤣 then I saw an amogus potion at the gas station and I said “this is the sussest thing I’ve ever seen.” I bought it for 69 cents and I asked the cashier why it was 69 cents. He said because funny 😄😄😄 then I went home and I drank the potion and it tasted kinda sus. Then my skin started turning cyan. I asked why and the bottle said because sus 😉😉😉 and then my face turned into amogus. Then shortly after, i became cyan imposter from amogus. My mom asked me why I was cyan imposter and I said because sus 😜😜😜 and my mom questioned her decision of giving birth to me.*
