Herusan



s are a species of abnormals native to Hollow Earth.

When Magnus is revived and meets Fallon, she initially believes Fallon is a Quinterran based on her eyes. Fallon, however, says that Quinterrans are her species' surface counterpart; that instead she is a Herusan, the original offshoot of the species.

A large group of Herusans arrived on the surface of the Earth in early 2010, along with many other abnormals. They were put into a camp overseen by the Lotus Defense Corps, but later seized control of it and held a number of hostages.

They appear human, but with certain feline features, like vertical slit-pupiled eyes and cat-like strength and agility. The males, like Thelo and Garris, also possess a lion-like roar. Herusans have two hearts in the right side of their chest.

A Promise Band is the Herusan equivalent of an engagement ring. Garris gave one to Kate Freelander some time after their return to Hollow Earth.
