'''Aurelus''' is a mysterious [[Faction]] introduced in ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]''. Aurelus Bakugan have a gold color scheme alongside high [[B-Power]] and [[Damage Rating|Damage]] rating but do not have Ability Cards (besides Evo Cards) within the first two card expansions to balance this. Most Aurelus Bakugan (with the only current exception being [[Pyravian]] come with Aurelus [[Character Card (Battle PlanetReboot)|Character Card]]s but come with a [[Faction]] Card based on the the Bakugan's Faction from the anime. For example, [[Hydorous (Battle Planet)|Hydorous]] is [[Aquos (FactionReboot)|Aquos]] in the anime, so a solo Bakugan Ultra pack of Aurelus Hydorous Ultra comes with [[Counter Aquos]], a card of the Aquos Faction.

Despite some misconceptions, this is a ''completely new'' faction (attribute) that replaces [[Subterra]] (the elements of earth/Subterra have been merged with the [[Ventus (Legacy)|Ventus]] Faction). <ref>https://twitter.com/bakugan/status/1081593253743550464</ref>

Aurelus Bakugan are generally more powerful than other [[Faction]]s in terms of [[B-Power]] and [[Damage Rating|Damage]]. However, they have virtually no support in the game, with the only Aurelus-attributed cards in the first two expansions being [[Evo Card]]s. The third expansion, [[Age of Aurelus]], focuses on exploring Aurelus Bakugan and features the first Aurelus action cards.

There are no Aurelus users in the ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet]] '' anime currently. In fact, Aurelus Bakugan seem to be unknown to most of the characters as evidenced by [[Lia]]'s shock and confusion upon encountering a [[Pyravian|golden bird]] Bakugan in ''[[Rubbed the Wrong Way]]'' . The only known Aurelus Bakugan are [[Pyravian]], [[Tiko]], [[Goreene]], and [[Tryhno]], all of which have no ownersand acted as the Bakugan Council before the [[Great Collision]]. {| class="wikitable"!Bakugan Council|-|[[Pyravian]]|-|[[Trhyno]]|-|[[Goreene]]|-|[[Tiko]]|}

*This is the first new Attribute (now called Faction) to be introduced into the Bakugan game since the pre-HSP release of [[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]], which introduced [[Ventus (AttributeLegacy)|Ventus]].
