Tangean Royal

Tangean Royals, more commonly referred to as Tangeans, are one of two native species living on the planet Tangea.

Biology

Many of them have long necks, and most (if not all) have pointy ears. They are generally tall and thin, though a few are known to be somewhat muscular.

While humans tan when exposed to enough sunlight, Tangean skin turns yellow, though like humans they are vulnerable to sunburn.

Powers

Tangean Royals are able to make themselves intangible with ease, an ability they call ghosting. In addition to passing through people and solid objects-or even remaining inside them for a time-they can also employ their powers to affect the minds of other beings, such as employing mind control, reading minds or utilizing the Tangean Brain Squeeze, a technique that renders its victims unconscious. They are also capable of ghosting through energy, which grants increased abilities; however, it can become an addictive habit.

For unknown reasons, the powers of Tangean Royals are cancelled out in the presence of Tangean Grounders, and vice versa, which may contribute to the Royals' disdain for their neighbors.

History

They were hesitant to join the Galactic Alliance, but agreed after Buzz Lightyear saved their planet from Zurg.

Culture

They believe themselves to be superior to other species (except for some members, like Mira Nova and Fop Doppler) and are upper-class, often wearing fancy clothing. They do not bother building doors, since they can phase through solid objects.

Royals have many elaborate rules and customs, such as the Rule of the First Born, which stipulates that "a young lord or lady of a highborn house has the royal right to claim a hand in marriage of the first born child of the king."[1] There is a military exception for the law of the first born, but it only applies to commissioned officers.

Government

The Royals are ruled by a monarchy. The current ruler of Tangea is King Nova, and the heir to the throne is his daughter Mira. The position of royal chancellor also exists, filled by Lord Angstrom before his attempted coup. Their palace is located in a floating city above the surface.

Military

It's unknown if Tangean Royals have a military, but it would seem unlikely since Evil Emperor Zurg met no local resistance when he attempted to take over with his Hyper-Hornet.

It is possible they believed that none of the other species in the galaxy would try to invade them, and as a result, never bothered to organize a military.
