Subrosian

Template:Species

Subrosians are the native inhabitants of the lava world of Subrosia. Not much is known about them. They always wear cloaks so no one (other than themselves) knows what lurks underneath the robe.

Subrosians seem to be fond of heat, as their world is rather volcanic in nature, and some can be seen enjoying hot lava baths . They also appear to like dancing as evidenced from their Dance Hall. Since they are cut off of from the rest of the world, they do not use Rupees as currency. Instead of Rupees, they use Ore Chunks to pay for items. Visitors to the subterranean land will have to use Ore Chunks as well, and anyone equipped with a decent shovel can dig up enough ore in Subrosia to get by.

Subrosians appear in both the Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons games. It is believed that they originate from the land of Holodrum.

Trivia

An interesting tidbit about Subrosia is that, when the word is taken apart, it becomes Sub rosa, or "underneath the rose" in Latin. In ancient times, a rose over a doorway signified that a secret meeting was taking place. The name Subrosia literally means "secret place" and Subrosian "secretive person".

Theory Warning

1. Some have speculated the Subrosians may be somehow connected to the Garo Ninja due to similar appearances.
2. It is also very possible that they are related to the Salona from Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. They both wear hooded cloaks, and can't be touched by the light.
