Yupangir (singular and plural; Jupangir jupangir) are the native sophonts of Atahualpa, the second of two planets around star Inti. They are papparians, that is, they possess pappary glands on their backs that, in females, produce a thick, fatty substance rich in nutrients called papmilk, which they feed their offspring during their early infancy.
Names
The name yupangir comes from the Atahualpan Ñerte language ñupangỹrỹ, meaning "from the sand."
