— Xur

The Jovians are a humanoid species that inhabit the Jovians, a collection of worlds beyond the Reef.

According to Xûr, a Jovian, were once human, but were radically transformed to a far greater extent than even the Awoken; the Nine themselves are implied to be responsible for this change. He speaks of being made of cells with the memories of the past, and coming from the dust. The Light can cause pain to him.

Trivia

The tentacled visage of Jovians bears resemblance to the creatures found in the Cthulu Mythos.
