Fissdurs

Fissdurs are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Orion Nebula. They are known for their crystalline exoskeletons and bioluminescent internal organs, which allow them to communicate through intricate light patterns. Physically, Fissdurs are bipedal, standing approximately 1.8 meters tall, with slender limbs and a tapered head that houses multiple sensory organs, including two large, multifaceted eyes.

The Fissdur society is highly communal, with individuals often merging their consciousness for short periods to share knowledge and experiences. This telepathic merging, known as "confluence," is integral to their social structure and technological advancement. Their technology is largely bio-integrated, utilizing organic materials and energy sources derived from Xylos's unique flora.

Fissdurs are primarily herbivores, subsisting on a diet of phosphorescent mosses and energy-rich sap. Their reproductive cycle involves a communal spawning event, where genetic material is exchanged and incubated within specialized bio-domes. Despite their advanced civilization, Fissdurs have historically remained isolated, preferring to observe the galaxy from afar rather than engage in direct interaction with other species. Their primary motivation is the pursuit of cosmic harmony and understanding.
