The Ular Tribe is an organization in Just Cause 2.
This was once a large temple, built by the Ular Tribe in ancient times.
Description[]
A local Panauan tribe. The Ular Tribe (pronounced "Ooo-Lar" for english speakers), are local Micronesians and the first people to come to Panau. Many of them are on drugs and in the rebel gang the Ular Boys. They are all lead by their chief. They are minimalists and are said to be peaceful, but recently the government has corrupted the tribe.
"Ular" means "Snake" in both Malay and Indonesian.

History[]
The Ular Tribe are local Micronesians and the first people to come to Panau. They are also the oldest civilization in the Just Cause Universe. See more at Timeline of the Just Cause universe.
Ancient[]
In Ancient times the Ulars were a very small clan of struggling people in Micronesia, later they discovered Panau and claimed it for themselves. Over time all Ulars moved to Panau and the tribe had a time of happiness. As the tribe grew, they made settlements and temples all over the islands. Most of them now lay in ruins. The Ular Boys HQ though is probably one of very few temples standing intact. Also the Reapers HQ's hillside temple may be one of the Ular temples, also standing intact.
Colonial times[]
During European colonial rule they were ignored and thus weren't too happy.
Modern[]
During the 20th century they were calm and content, but by the rule of Pandak "Baby" Panay, they were commonly abused so they formed a rebel faction - the Ular Boys. At the moment their chief is Sri Irawan.
As seen at the Lelaki Temple, they are more concerned with drugs than honoring ancient ruins, unless that specific temple had always been a Drug Storage Temple.
Mythology[]
The Ulars do a lot of veneration of the dead, meaning that they worship ancestors.
The Ulars have their own mythology, unfortunately little is known about it. We do know that they believe that their ancestors should be treated as good as alive and that their spirits can influence your life. They also believe that the ancient Skulls of their ancestors, scattered in the countryside, contain magical powers. The exact powers are unknown, but the Ulars pay a lot of money for the finders of the skulls.
An example is their belief that Hantu Island is haunted by the spirits of dead cannibals. These "spirits" will destroy any boat or aircraft that approaches the island. It's later revealed that a world war two Japanese Military base is responsible for the crashes.
