Belbos

Belbos is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their distinctive bioluminescent skin, which changes color based on their emotional state and ambient light conditions. This bioluminescence is a complex biological process involving symbiotic microorganisms within their epidermis. Physically, Belbos are typically bipedal, standing around 1.8 meters tall, with slender builds and elongated limbs. They possess large, multifaceted eyes that grant them excellent low-light vision.

Their society on Xylos is highly communal and emphasizes cooperation and shared knowledge. Belbos communicate primarily through a combination of modulated bioluminescent patterns and a complex series of vocalizations that include clicks, whistles, and hums. Their technology is advanced, particularly in the fields of bio-engineering and energy manipulation, drawing heavily on the unique biological resources of their homeworld. Historically, Belbos have been a peaceful species, focused on exploration and understanding the universe around them rather than conquest. Encounters with other species have been rare, leading to a limited but generally positive record of intergalactic relations. Their dietary needs are met through the cultivation of specialized flora native to Xylos, which are also bioluminescent.
