Atrereuss

Atrereuss is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the K'tharr Nebula. They are known for their chitinous exoskeletons, which range in color from deep emerald to metallic bronze. Adult Atrereuss typically stand around 1.8 meters tall and possess four limbs, two for locomotion and two prehensile appendages used for manipulation. Their most distinctive feature is a pair of compound eyes that allow for a wide field of vision, capable of perceiving ultraviolet light. Communication among Atrereuss is primarily through a complex series of clicks and pheromonal signals, though some younger generations have begun to adopt vocalizations for interspecies interaction.

The Atrereuss society is structured around communal hive-like settlements, with a strong emphasis on collective labor and resource management. Their diet consists mainly of cultivated fungi and mineral-rich subterranean flora found on Xylos. Historically, Atrereuss have been known for their intricate craftsmanship, particularly in the creation of durable tools and aesthetically pleasing crystalline structures. Their technological development has focused on sustainable energy and bio-engineering, with limited exploration into advanced propulsion systems. Encounters with other species have been infrequent, but generally peaceful, characterized by a cautious curiosity.
