History

The Fomalhuati recently conquered the Banari, turning them into a servitor race. A mutant Fomalhuati (Xlymm) allied with Skeletron and took his personal Banari to Earth, in an attempt to flood the planet via his Earth-Mover monoliths therefore creating a new homeworld for the Fomalhuati.[1]

Notes

  • While normal Fomalhauti are small and whitish in color, each member of the now extinct mutant race was pinkish and reached nearly six times the normal Fomalhauti size and mass.[3]
  • By their look (tentacled giant amoebas) and their name, seemingly a reference to Fomalhaut, a star involved in the Cthulhu Mythos, the Fomalhauti are possibly a reference to the Mythos.

Trivia

  • The expression "Don't give a flying Fomalhauti about.." is used by Genis-Vell.[5]
