El Aurians have a 'listening' ability that compels other species to divulge their deepest secrets, desires, fantasies and anything about themselves really. In the series this is not explained as to how so for I have went with controlled pheromone release. The El Aurian will choose to release this pheromone when they want to whatever advantage they want.

NOTE: This will not work on all species.

El Aurians have a temporal sense. This gives them the unique ability to sense and understand time better than other species. This is somehow linked into their physiology and genetic makeup.

For example, when a timeline changes El Aurians can sense the difference. They may not be entirely sure what has happened but the feeling of unease, that something is wrong is ever present until something is done to revert.

Have some form of defence against the beings known as Q. With the raising of two hands in a clawlike stance it is believed this can somehow nullify the powers of these omnipotent beings.

There have also been cases of mind projection in which members of a family can communicate through telepathy over great distances. This has only been known to happen within familial units.
