The '''Cerulean''' (Japanese: セルリアン Hepburn: Serurian) are an aggressive, invasive species of monster which is formed by the union of [[Glossary#Sandstar|Sandstar]] and inorganic matter. They are mainly amorphous in shape, although they come in various shapes, sizes and power levels. They are the collective antagonist of the [[Kemono Friends]] multimedia franchise. Ceruleans are a threat to [[Friends]] and humanity alike, absorbing and devouring them if given the opportunity. | The '''Cerulean''' (Japanese: セルリアン Hepburn: Serurian) are an aggressive, invasive species of monster which is formed by the union of [[Glossary#Sandstar|Sandstar]] and inorganic matter.

The origin of the name "Cerulean" is not known for sure. While it's tempting to assume it refers purely to the shade of blue or cyan, Ceruleans across all Kemono Friends media in which they are featured come in many different colors. One prevailing theory on the word is that it is a portmanteau of ''cell'' and ''alien'', owing to their typically amorphous, cell-like appearance and otherworldly, invasive character. This is supported by official Kemono Friends merchandise, which includes an iPhone case that romanizes the word as "Cellien". | The origin of the name "Cerulean" is not known for sure.
