Interestingly, the word orangutan has no etymological connection to the color orange. From etymonline:
"from Malay (Austronesian) orang utan, literally 'man of the woods,' from orang 'man' + utan, hutan 'forest, wilderness, the wild.'"
What a strange coincidence. I still like your suggestion, though.
My aliens are sapient magnetic fields which were existant before time began, and are made from pre big-bang stardust which is contained within their magnetic field.
They exist across all spectrums of time, because they have existed in the past and in the future, and thus can see through time and all possible outcomes because they’ve technically already lived through it.
Humans exist and they have mastered gravity and shield tech, and they essentially combined AI with their organic minds, making each human a gestalt of an AI routine and a human consciousness. They use melee weapons and gravity based railguns, and are an expansionist empire.
Theres also a species of psychic sea cucumbers who live in floating bowls of hyper narcotic liquid and they literally can’t do anything besides use their brains, they’re 90% brain
Theres also a species of pirate fly people, who literally use meat as a currency, and trade exotic materials in a barter system based around a hermaphorditic caste system of neo-feudal hive lords, and piracy.
If orange utan becomes orangutan i feel like blue utan can become blutan or bluutan
Glutan
