Cabinetilaans

Cabinetilaans are a fictional species native to the planet Lumina. They are known for their unique biological composition, which allows them to absorb and process ambient light for sustenance. This characteristic has led to their development of bioluminescent properties, which they utilize for communication and navigation in Lumina's often dimly lit environments.

Physically, Cabinetilaans are characterized by their translucent, crystalline exoskeletons. These exoskeletons are not rigid but possess a degree of flexibility, allowing for a wide range of movement. Their internal organs are visible through their exoskeletons, glowing with soft, pulsating light that varies in color depending on their emotional state and the type of light they have recently absorbed. They typically have a slender build with multiple appendages, though the exact number and arrangement can vary between individuals.

The society of Cabinetilaans is highly communal. They live in large, interconnected crystalline structures that often grow organically from the planet's surface. Their communication is a complex interplay of light patterns, subtle shifts in bioluminescence, and low-frequency sonic vibrations. They possess a deep understanding of Lumina's ecosystems and have developed intricate methods for harmonizing with their environment rather than dominating it. Their technology, while not advanced in a conventional sense, is deeply integrated with their biological abilities, focusing on energy manipulation and biological augmentation.
