Axelrots

Axelrots are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their bioluminescent exoskeletons, which emit a soft blue light in low-light conditions. This luminescence is believed to be a form of communication, allowing them to signal to each other over distances and through the dense foliage of their homeworld. Axelrots are typically herbivorous, feeding on the various phosphorescent fungi and low-lying vegetation found on Xylos.

Physically, Axelrots are characterized by their segmented bodies, six limbs, and a pair of antenna-like appendages on their heads that are sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature. They possess a unique digestive system that allows them to break down complex organic compounds found in Xylos's unique flora. Their life cycle involves several molting stages, with their bioluminescence becoming more pronounced as they mature.

The Axelrots are a peaceful and generally solitary species, preferring to live in small, loosely organized communities. They have developed a sophisticated understanding of their ecosystem and have a symbiotic relationship with several other Xylosian life forms. While not technologically advanced in a way humans would recognize, they possess a deep ecological knowledge and have developed intricate methods of survival and resource management. Their existence is primarily documented through interstellar exploration logs and xenobiological studies.
