Dominus (series)

The Dominus hats are among one of the most expensive and most coveted hats ever created along with the Domino Crown and Sparkle Time Fedoras. It is usual that the Limited Unique Dominus hats are sold to twenty-six people for a high amount of ROBUX. The names and descriptions of each Dominus are in Latin.

History
Before the official release of the first Dominus, it was first seen on a secret page, along with other upcoming hats at that time, including the first hat of the Noob Attack series.

Dominus Empyreus, the first Dominus, was released in January 2010 for 13,337 ROBUX. Ever since, ROBLOX releases around 1-2 Dominus hats a year.

Dominus Empyreus
Dominus Empyreus was the first of the Dominus hats. It was released on 1/22/10. Twenty-six of them were sold for 13,337 ROBUX. The name translates to: Lord of Heaven. The description translates to: Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound. This is known to be Shedletsky's favorite Dominus.

Dominus Infernus
Dominus Infernus is the second dominus. It was released on 7/20/10. As with Dominus Empyreus, only 26 were sold and costed 26,000 ROBUX. The name translates to: Lord of the Underworld. The description translate to: Thus passes the glory of the world. The hat was originally a retexture, made by the user Hicup789, and published later by ROBLOX. The original version can be found here.

Dominus Frigidus
Dominus Frigidus was the third Dominus hat released. It was published on 3/24/11. Like the two before it, only twenty-six were sold for 39,000 ROBUX. The name translates to: The Lord of the Cold. The description translates to: Either to die.

Dominus Messor
Dominus Messor came out of a 2011 Halloween gift, Gift of the Dominator, that sold for 31,000 R$.

It was made limited when Dominus Vespertilio was revealed. Originally the contents of the gift it was inside were not revealed. There were rumors it would be either a Dominus, a Domino Crown, or a bag of spiders. Due to textures being found and the gift's naming being "dominusgift" when placed in studio, players confirmed it would be a Dominus. 241 copies of the gift were sold. The name translates to: Lord of the Harvest. The description translates to: As you sow, so shall you reap.

Dominus Vespertilio
Just like Dominus Messor, Dominus Vespertilio was found inside a Halloween gift that sold for 31,000 R$, eventually with only 526 sold. The description of the gift stated that it would be a Dominus, a Domino Crown, or a flock of bats. The name translates to: Lord of Bat. The description translates to: Death is the last line of.

Dominus Vespertilio is the second Dominus in the series not sporting the original mesh, but rather a more morbid bat wing look.

Dominus Aureus
Dominus Aureus was found inside a Christmas gift that sold for 50,000 R$. The name translates to: Lord of Gold. The description translates to: ''Do not take as gold everything that shines like gold. ''

Dominus Aureus was inside the gift of Muneris Aureus Dev Ex, this gift was awarded to all developers who had used ROBLOX's Developer Exchange.

It later went limited during the Black Friday sale of 2014.

Dominus Astra
Dominus Astra is the 8th Dominus released. It's original price was. The name translates to: Lord of Stars. The descriptions translates to: Seize the night. Only 26 were sold. It was released on 6/22/2014. Dominus Astra was originally known as "Dominus Noctis". But this later changed because Robloxians were complaining about the vulgar content popping up while google searching it.

Dominus Rex
Dominus Rex is the 9th Dominus. The name translates to "Lord of Kings". The description translates to From sea to sea. Only 219 were sold. It was released on May 23rd, 2015. This was the fourth Dominus to be classed as Limited ," not "Limited/U". Unlike the most recent Dominus hats (Dominus Vespertilio, Dominus Iris and Domimus Aureus), Dominus Rex sports the original Dominus mesh as seen on Dominus Infernus, Dominus Frigidus, Dominus Empyreus, and Dominus Messor. It is among the first to have the elements from Dominus Infernus (feathers), Dominus Frigidus (hood), and Dominus Aureus (buttons). The name itself may be a reference to Jurassic World's "Indominus rex".

Dominus Pittacium
Dominus Pittacium is the 10th Dominus. It was created on December 23, 2015 but appeared in the catalog on March 15, 2016. Unlike the other dominus hats, it is bought with tix, but for 5,000,000 tix (roughly equaling to 250,000 robux), making it the most expensive item in ROBLOX that costs tix alone. It's description translates to "Farewell Forever". This was released along with the "Saying Goodbye to Tickets" Blog post. Currently, only 16 were sold.
