The Veruni are a race of beings specific to the Wild Arms 5 storyline. They were once humans who left the planet as a colony 12,000 years ago, returning to Filgaia 100 years prior to the events of the game, long after the mutations of their DNA had changed them into another species. The superiority of their physical forms, as well as their technology, allowed them the opportunity to enslave the human race native to Filgaia, causing the main conflict of racism and social classes throughout the story.
