Garvots

Garvots are a fictional species that originates from the planet Xylos. They are a sentient, bipedal race known for their advanced understanding of organic engineering and their intricate social structures. Physically, garvots possess a smooth, chitinous exoskeleton that ranges in color from deep violet to metallic blue, with two large, multifaceted eyes that provide a wide field of vision. They have four prehensile limbs, two used for locomotion and two for manipulation, ending in three-fingered hands. Their diet consists primarily of cultivated fungal growths found on Xylos.

The society of garvots is organized into a collective consciousness known as the "Symbiotic Weave," where individual thoughts and memories are shared and processed collectively. This communal approach fosters a high degree of cooperation and problem-solving efficiency. They do not have a concept of individual ownership, and resources are managed and distributed based on communal need. Their technological advancements are heavily focused on biological manipulation, allowing them to grow their own structures and tools. They have a deep reverence for their planet's ecosystem and strive to maintain a harmonious balance with all life forms.
