Artitors

Artitors are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their highly developed olfactory senses and their unique form of communication, which relies on complex scent patterns. Physically, Artitors are characterized by their slender, six-limbed bodies covered in a fine, iridescent fuzz. They possess two large, multifaceted eyes that allow them to perceive a wide spectrum of light.

The Artitor society is deeply communal, with individuals sharing a collective consciousness facilitated by their scent-based communication. This allows for rapid dissemination of information and a strong sense of empathy among the species. Their diet consists primarily of bioluminescent fungi found in the deep caverns of Xylos.

Artitors have developed advanced bio-engineering technologies, focusing on manipulating organic matter for various purposes, including architecture and transportation. Their cities are grown rather than built, featuring organic structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. While generally peaceful, Artitors are fiercely protective of their homeworld and its unique ecosystem. Their interactions with other species have been limited, largely due to the challenges in translating their complex scent language.
