Gauna are an alien lifeform which are composed of a True Body and a Placenta. They have the ability to shapeshift and take many forms. A Gauna cannot be destroyed unless its True Body is pierced by a Kabizashi, otherwise it will continuously regenerate.

Gauna consist of two primary materials: A Gauna's Placenta, or exterior covering, and its True Body. The Placenta appears to be highly malleable, able to move at speed, extend significant distances, morph into different forms, and be used for a variety of purposes. Placenta are shown to be able to create many different materials and even complex machinery.

The Gauna were discovered some time before 2171 AD, when a Mass Union Ship was detected at the outer edge of the Solar System. With an estimated trillions of Gauna within the Mass Union Ship, humanity lived in uneasy peace for over 200 years.

In 2371, the Gauna Mass Union Ship approached Earth and cast down 46 Gauna to the surface. These Gauna immediately began to kill and absorb humans on the surface. Gauna also began to consume marine life and, we can assume, all other life on Earth, until, at some point, the Earth was split into two. Split into two hemispheres, the Earth was destroyed, with kilometers-thick Gauna placental arms emerging from the Earth's core.
