Ungie

Ungie is a quest-exclusive NPC who appears in the World Quest Visitors From the Stars in Series Moon Gazing: Act II - Visitors From the Stars in the form of an enormous Kuuhenki.

Profile

Bad-Uru-Namu-Ungien, shortened to Ungien was once a Dragon researcher in the field of life sciences who worked with his lover Maagees-Geti on the Frost Moon.^[2] He was also a pupil of Ibni-Belum's.

When the Eye of Ibni-Belum recorded another deep-space signal and its coordinates, Ungien decided to embark on the journey to find the signal's sender and transmit back his findings, despite the coordinates being too far away for the spaceship, the Moongazer, to travel there and back.^[3]

Maagees-Geti and the other researchers on the space station never heard back from Ungien again until years later, when the station's Space Capture Arm was damaged by an unknown object. It turned out that the object was the cloaked Moongazer. Maagees-Geti began investigating the spaceship and only found "a round, black, spiky creature" inside that matched Ungien's data signature. After recuperating, the creature/Ungien delivered the message to the researchers and died shortly thereafter.^[3]

However, Maagees-Geti used an experimental technique that would convert a lifeform into one composed of pure Archaeolune Energy. Following this conversion what was left of Ungien became Ungie, an artificial Kuuhenki of enormous size.^[3]

Appearance

Like his partner, Maggie, Ungie is similar to a normal Kuuhenki, except that he has an enormous size and a long tail dragged behind his body. He's colored in different shades of dark blue and black, getting lighter on the ends of his tail.

Etymology

• Bad-Uru-Namu-Ungien originates from Sumerian "Bád-uru-na-mu-un-gi-en".
  • Bád: "wall".
  • uru-na: genitive noun phrase meaning "of the town/city"; the suffix -na is a phonetic assimilation of the genitive marker -ak, this segment cannot be omitted without breaking grammatical possession logic.
  • mu-un-gi-en: finite conjugated verb complex meaning "he made firm, consolidated completely".
  • Bád-uru-na-mu-un-gi-en is a classic commemorative Sumerian naming phrase from Ur III period texts, translating to "he made the city’s wall solid". (French: le mur de la ville il a fait solide)^[4]
• Ungie and Maagees-Geti are lovers, and these two names appear side by side on page 20 of the scholarly volume Sumer et Akkad ^[4]
