Aura Battlers
Aura Battlers are the bio-mechanical mecha in the Aura Battler Dunbine franchise. Constructed from organic materials including dragon scales and insect carapaces, they are powered by the pilot’s aura—spiritual life energy. Roughly 7 metres tall with fluid, insect-like designs, they departed from the angular military aesthetics of contemporary robot anime. Designed by Kazutaka Miyatake and Izubuchi Yutaka; pilots from the surface world possess enhanced aura and are especially valuable.
