yeah - saw it on yesterday's JM's blog.

Any idea if this name has any meaning? it reminds me of the Latin word for "Bear" but they do not have any ressemblance to bears.

when I first saw the name, that's what I thought too, and it might be because of the shape of the skull in the original sketches?

I would love to see if his (or the other designers) notes had what they were wanting to call the blues..

....Or it's because the ancients call them that. We all know from past experiance that the ancient language is a precursor to Latin. Also to continue my ridiculous speculation about this. What is a bear if not furry? Ursini->Bear->Furry->Furrlings!

AH HA!

[nbkbauer]

ah never mind, JM answers this controversy outright.

Answer: Abandon hope. Sorry.

AH HA!

*whispers* - you know the ancients aren't really real, right, and can't name anything?

We need to have him answer then are they supposed to be on the ship or are they stowaways!

There's a video on MGM answering that, too. They came to investigate the ship.

Not much there.. just him saying "and another race who said cool ship, lets check it out'. BUT it does confirm what you said.
