Angvians were the ancient enemies of the Gholos.

Biology[]

Physically, Angvians were similar to humans, though described as Valkyrie-like. The females had glands in their armpits which produced a pheromone which made them extremely attractive to males. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-a-Boom!)

Culture[]

Angvians had a matriarchal society led by the queen. Women chose their mates, and being rejected was a serious offence. Angvian tradition was to take a meal with the leader of the village they were visiting. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-a-Boom!)

Technology[]

The Angvians were significantly more advanced than the Gholos. They made use of scatter bombs and personal destructors as weaponry. They also had distinctive poisons and a fleet of spacecraft. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-a-Boom!)

History[]

The Angvians and the Gholos had empires close to each other, leading to territorial conflicts when they met. The Angvians claimed that their colonies were attacked by the Gholos, forcing them to become warriors. Though peace treaties were made, the Gholos eventually broke them. Likewise, an agreement about the Zordon Nebula was broken by the Angvians. This led to centuries of war.

Eventually, most of the Angvians and the Gholos wanted peace. An Angvian terrorist group, on the other hand, was still a danger to peace. In order to prevent this, two peace conferences were held. One, on Achilles 4, was a sham, but was the obvious target. The other was the 309th Intergalactic Song Contest at Dark Space 8. The Gholos and Angvian competitors would have the political information telepathically planted in their minds without them noticing.

As expected, the Angvian terrorists attacked the peace conference at Achilles 4, but were driven off. Unexpectedly, Loozly (a Gholos associate) learned of the Song Contest and tried to stop it. He implanted an Angvian personal destructor in Nicky Newman, killed the commander of Dark Space 8 with an Angvian scatter bomb, killed Cyrene and Professor Ivor Fassbinder with Angvian poison and attacked Queen Angvia to cause what appeared to be a double bluff. Eventually, he was discovered and tried to take Queen Angvia hostage. When Gholos saved her, she agreed to discuss the peace treaty. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-a-Boom!)
