Atollok

Atollok is a term that appears in some fictional contexts, most notably within the world of the video game "Mass Effect". In this science fiction universe, atollok refers to a species of sentient, silicon-based lifeforms. These beings are characterized by their crystalline bodies and their unique ability to communicate through a complex system of resonant frequencies and light emissions. Their physiology is vastly different from carbon-based life, allowing them to thrive in environments that would be lethal to many other species.

The atollok are depicted as highly intelligent and ancient, possessing a deep understanding of cosmic phenomena and advanced technologies. Their society is often portrayed as contemplative and somewhat detached from the concerns of more organic races. While their exact origins and societal structures are not fully detailed, their presence in the Mass Effect lore adds to the diverse and complex alien ecosystem of the galaxy. They are not a major playable or antagonistic race, but rather a unique element that contributes to the richness of the game's narrative and world-building. Their alien nature and distinct biology are key aspects of their fictional identity.
