Fryhtians

Fryhtians are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which can change color and intensity to communicate emotions and social status. This ability is a primary form of non-verbal communication among Fryhtians. Physically, they are tall and slender with four arms and large, multifaceted eyes that provide excellent low-light vision. Their skeletal structure is lighter than that of humans, allowing for greater agility.

Fryhtian society is highly communal and organized into intricate hive-like structures. They have a collective consciousness, meaning individuals share thoughts and feelings to a certain extent, fostering a deep sense of unity and empathy. This collective nature influences their decision-making processes, which are often made through consensus rather than individual decree. Their technology is advanced, focusing on bio-engineering and energy manipulation. They have developed methods to harness ambient energy and create organic technology that integrates seamlessly with their environment.

The Fryhtian diet consists primarily of synthesized nutrients and light energy, absorbed directly through their skin. They are known for their peaceful nature and have historically avoided conflict, preferring diplomacy and understanding. Their culture emphasizes artistic expression, particularly through light sculptures and harmonic soundscapes. Encounters with other species are rare, and their interactions are typically cautious and observational.
