Batrs

Batrs are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their distinctive bioluminescent skin, which shifts in color depending on their emotional state. This allows for a complex form of non-verbal communication within their species. Batrs are typically bipedal, with slender limbs and large, multifaceted eyes that grant them excellent vision in low light conditions. Their diet consists primarily of Xylosian fungi and subterranean insects.

The Batr society is organized into communal living units, with decisions made by consensus among elders. They possess a rudimentary understanding of technology, primarily focused on sustainable energy and atmospheric manipulation for their subterranean habitats. Their culture emphasizes harmony with nature and a deep respect for ancestral knowledge. While generally peaceful, Batrs have been known to defend their territories with surprising ferocity when threatened. Their reproductive cycle is tied to the twin moons of Xylos, with mating rituals occurring only during specific lunar alignments. The Batr language is a combination of melodic vocalizations and rhythmic light patterns emitted from their skin.
