| abstract | - Aughra is the only one of her species, born from the rocks' need to perceive the world of The Dark Crystal. She is old enough to remember the world that existed before the race of Gelfling came to be, in the days before the Mystics and Skeksis evolved their separate codes. Her exact age is unknown, but she has existed for at least a thousand years. She studied the movements of the planets in the heavens in her observatory and lost an eye observing a Great Conjunction of the Three Suns a thousand years ago. Her remaining eye can be removed from her body and remain fully functional. Jen was sent by his master to Aughra to fulfill the prophecy and find the shard that would make The Dark Crystal whole again. In the closing credits, which follow the names with character descriptions in the manner of silent films and early talkies, Aughra is labeled as "A Keeper of Secrets." The fabrication team, who doubled on the UrSkeks, consisted of David Barclay, Jeremy Hunt, Paul Jiggins, Graeme Galvin, and Steve Court. Since 2015, the Aughra puppet is on display at the Center for Puppetry Arts as part of their permanent Worlds of Puppetry exhibit.
- Aughra is the tetartagonist of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal. Jen, the main protagonist, is sent on a quest to restore the Dark Crystal converting it's dark powers to their previous light state. In his quest Jen is sent to Aughra, a seeker, who had managed to save the shard needed and keep it hidden from the Dark Crystal's masters, the Skeksis. Though Aughra had several such possible shards and did not know which of them was the true one she awaited a hero, (Jen), whome she had forseen would come and pick the shard out to restore the crystal. As Jen picks the shard though the Skeksis's automaton guards, the Garthim, come for Jen and the crystal shard, Aughra creates a distraction for Jen while also trying to save her lab from being destroyed but is ultimately captured and brought before the Skiksis. Aughra remains obstinate despite her situation at the non-existent mercy of the Skeksis and criticizes them for callously tearing up her home. For her trouble Aughra is brought to the dungeons to be used as a test subject for the Skeksis' experiments with mind-control. Aughra escapes before she can be experimented on and meets Jen and his companion Kira as they complete their journey to restore the crystal.
- Aughra is a creature of all things mysterious and embodies all races, all genders, and is the very essence of the world of Thra itself. Aughra is wise and experienced enough to know the joy of the world before the takeover by the Skeksis race. It is not clear within the scope of the movie if Aughra is indeed one of a kind, the first and last of her race. Aughra is an old hermit woman who lives in a isolated brain-shaped observatory atop a mountain which is inhabited by little strange creatures and hidden by living plants. Her home contains a complex orrery that shows the suns, moons, stars and planets of their solar system and their relative positions and motions. She is scientist, alchemist, astronomer, wise woman and witch. She is a cantankerous old woman, but has a sense of humor. She shows no fear before the Skekses, and only anger at the Garthim for destroying her home. Aughra painfully lost one eye witnessing the first Great Conjunction; using her ability to remove her eyes from her head, she watched the conjunction with one of her eyes, which blinded it in the process.
