Arquillians are a small sapient alien species from the planet Arquillia.
History[]
When Edgar the Bug comes to Earth to steal the Arquillian Galaxy. During his quest he finds and kills one Arquillian, named Gentle Rosenberg. At the morgue, Jay discovers that Gentle Rosenberg, a member of the Royal Family, is not yet dead: before dying he tells Jay and Laurel, the morgue attendant, that the Galaxy is on Orion's Belt. Jay relays this information to Kay and Zed, who are confused as Orion's Belt is three stars, not the billions needed for a Galaxy. After talking with Frank the Pug Jay realizes that even though the Galaxy comprises billions of stars, it does not have to be massive on a human scale. He then realizes (as does Laurel and the Bug) that the Galaxy was the sphere on the collar of Gentle's cat, Orion. At this time, the Arquillians having heard of the Arquilian prince's death, immediately send a single Arquilian Battle Cruiser to Earth, causing many friendly aliens on Earth to immediately evacuate. The Arquilian Battle Cruiser in Earth's orbit begins firing a warning shot as they threaten to destroy the Earth if they cannot retrieve the Galaxy. After preventing Edgar the Bug and successfully killing him, Jay and Kay are able to retrieve it, saving the Earth. The Arquilians aboard their warship then peacefully withdrew afterwards.
Biology[]
The Arquillians themselves are a species of hand-sized humanoids with greenish-white skin, a large head, large blue eyes, and very long arms and legs.
Culture and society[]
On Earth, the Arquillians wear Human-sized mechanical suits, which are used for both protection and movement (also hiding their true identity). Much of their energy goes towards operating the mechanical Human suit, but they also have an "autopilot" mode for making their life easier. To get the Human suit to work, they have to download software programs to the brain. Too much information and the computer can have a meltdown, resulting in them divulging their true identity or catastrophic damage to the suit. They also apparently possess an extremely powerful weapon capable of destroying planets.
Spacecraft[]

The Arquillians do as a matter of fact possess spacecraft. The most notable type of vessel withing their empire, being the all too familiar and infamous Arquilian Battle Cruiser. The Arquilian Battle Cruiser is an impressive, intimidating, utterly massive, well armed, incredibly powerful, and formidable battleship sized dreadnought that is both feared and respected by all species who have witnessed one encroaching upon their world.
The Arquilian Battle Cruiser's are armed with an extremely powerful super-laser beam weapon that is quite capable of literally destroying a planet.

Notes[]
- In the movie, the MiB need to find the galaxy and return it to the Arquillians, who are threatening to annihilate Earth if it is not returned within a certain time period. A member of the Arqullian Royal Family, Gentle Rosenburg, was killed on Earth, resulting in its near destruction.
- In the Men in Black animated series it is revealed Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon were Arquillians. This probably means Mark David Chapman and James Earl Ray were Fmeks, sworn enemies of the Arquillians.
