Dorteltars

Dorteltars are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the "Chronicles of Zydor" series. They are described as tall, slender beings with chitinous exoskeletons that shimmer with iridescent hues. Their primary mode of locomotion is a graceful, multi-jointed stride, facilitated by four long, segmented legs. Dorteltars possess two primary sensory organs located on either side of their elongated heads, which appear to be compound eyes capable of perceiving a wide spectrum of light.

Their diet consists primarily of energy-rich crystalline formations found deep within Xylos's caverns. Dorteltars are known for their intricate social structures and communal living. They communicate through a complex series of clicks, whistles, and subtle shifts in their exoskeleton's coloration. Historically, they were depicted as a peaceful and technologically advanced civilization, having achieved mastery over bio-luminescent energy manipulation. However, their society faced significant disruption due to external conflict, leading to a diaspora across various star systems. Their role in the narrative often involves providing ancient wisdom or acting as skilled navigators through treacherous cosmic phenomena.
