Elallians
Elallians are a fictional sentient species originating from the planet Elallia, a tidally locked world orbiting a red dwarf star. Their physiology is adapted to the extreme conditions of their homeworld, with one side of their bodies perpetually facing the dim, red light of their sun, and the other side in constant twilight. This has led to a unique dimorphism within the species. Elallians typically possess a dark, leathery hide that absorbs what little light is available, and large, multifaceted eyes capable of excellent low-light vision. Their limbs are often elongated and somewhat spindly, allowing for efficient movement across the varied terrain of Elallia, which includes vast volcanic plains and deep, shadowed canyons.
The Elallian society is communal and deeply hierarchical, with a strong emphasis on cooperation for survival.
