The Ylla are a starfaring species that both the Luminoth of Aether and Reptilicus of Bryyo made contact with during their golden ages.[1]
Trivia
- The species's name was misspelled as "Vlla" in the initial release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This was corrected when the game was re-released in Metroid Prime: Trilogy.
- The species's name could be a reference to the Martian character Ylla in Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles.
- Ilya Nazarov was mistakenly credited as "Ilva Nazarov" in Corruption. There appears to be some sort of name relation between his first name and Ylla, as well as the "typo" and Vlla.
Notes and References
- ^ Metroid Prime 2: Echoes; Origins: It is told that the Luminoth were not born of Aether, but of the stars. In the early days, we roamed the greatness of the void, bathing in the glorious light of a thousand stars. We met a vast number of enlightened minds... the N'Kren, the Ylla, and the Chozo among them. Each of them, we found, had claimed a homeworld and formed a deep bond with it. In time, we decided to do the same.
