Delécies

Delécies are a fictional species inhabiting the planet Xylos in the Andromeda Galaxy. They are known for their bioluminescent qualities and their intricate social structures. Physically, Delécies are characterized by their semi-translucent skin that emits a soft, pulsating light, the color of which can vary depending on their mood and environment. They possess multiple limbs, typically six, which are highly dexterous and allow for complex manipulation of their surroundings. Their heads are small and ovular, featuring large, multifaceted eyes that are sensitive to a wide spectrum of light.

The Delécies communicate primarily through a combination of light patterns and low-frequency sonic vibrations. This unique form of communication allows for nuanced expression and the rapid dissemination of information within their communities. They live in communal underground cities, carved out of Xylos's mineral-rich crust. These cities are illuminated by the collective bioluminescence of the Delécies and are characterized by intricate tunnel systems and central gathering chambers.

Their diet consists mainly of subterranean fungi and mineral deposits, which they process using a specialized digestive system. Delécies reproduce asexually, with individuals budding off smaller versions of themselves at specific life stages. Their society is organized around a council of elders, chosen for their wisdom and experience. They are a peaceful species, focused on scientific observation and the preservation of their ecosystem. Little is known about their history prior to the discovery of Xylos by interstellar explorers.
