An 奥菲
The Orphean (English dub: /ˈɔːrfiən/) or Orphe (Japanese: オルフェ, Orufe; English dub: /ˈɔːrfi/) are a race of beings in 异度神剑X. They are an alien race who were exiled from the Ganglion. They are a highly intelligent and discrete tribe of technology builders, and they were the makers of many of the Doll 武器 for the Ganglion. They founded the 奥菲·帕菲科技 Arms Manufacturer. The party first encounters an 奥菲, 昆路阿布, in 夜光森林 during the mission 大岩要塞救援作战. After the mission 种族的延续 is completed, the 奥菲 start to make their home in NLA.

Physiology
Orphean are 类人型 that resemble 昆虫类 — possessing mantis-like heads and segmented bodies. They have incredible regenerative abilities, being able to regrow entire lost limbs in just a day. They reproduce through fission, which is catalyzed by 新生之水. This is revealed in particular during the 普通任务 种族的延续. When the water is poured on an 奥菲 — usually one that is dying — the original disappears and two "offspring" copies take its place. This is possible due to a symbiotic 病毒 inside them called the Ovah.
After their arrival on 米拉 the 奥菲 produced by 部门 have become increasingly individualistic and varied. This culminated in the creation of an entirely new gender for their species.
Ovah
The Ovah (English dub: /ˈoʊvɑː/) is a 病毒 that exists within the 奥菲. It guides them in an attempt to secure its survival. It is probable that this is what allowed them to survive and thrive on their home planet. The 奥菲 describe the Ovah's effects as a kind of gut feeling inside them. They view it as something sacred, unique to them, however during their stay on 米拉, the 病毒 was able to bond with the 寄宿水母 of 黑钢大陆, calling their beliefs into question.
In the distant past, before they began to inhabit the 奥菲, the Ovah were once a single entity. It floated in the ocean of another world where 特雷西亚 also lived. The 特雷西亚 of 米拉 apparently considers the Ovah impure, and it is hostile to 奥菲.
Homeworld
奥菲 cities are described as incredibly verdant. This is no surprise considering their diet.

Trivia
- The game uses both 奥菲 and Orphe to refer to the race as a whole.
- The names 奥菲 and Orphe may have been derived from one or more of the following:
- Orpheus (French: Orphée), a famous musician, 诗人, augur and seer in ancient Greek mythology. Augurs attempted to divine the will of the 神 from signs and omens, a role which is reflected in the Orpheans' emphasis on following the "will of the Ovah." He is also the probable source of the character Orpheus in Soma Bringer, a DS game by Monolith Soft which was only released in Japan;
- An "orphan", a person with no 分裂母体 or a young animal with no mother;
- Biological names of several arthropods such as Orphe, the genus of several lepidopterans, or orpheus, the species name of 其它 butterflies, Napaea orpheus, or two Chthoniidae pseudoscorpions, Kleptochthonius orpheus and Tyrannochthonius orpheus.
