Glitnirhads

Glitnirhads are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda Galaxy. They are a silicon-based life form, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons that refract light in a spectrum of vibrant colors. This unique biological structure allows them to absorb and process solar radiation directly for sustenance, eliminating the need for conventional food sources.

Physically, Glitnirhads possess multiple limbs, typically six to eight, which are highly articulated and end in sharp, crystalline digits. Their sensory organs are integrated into their exoskeletons, allowing them to perceive their environment through subtle vibrations and electromagnetic fluctuations. They communicate through complex patterns of light emission and harmonic resonance, a form of bioluminescent telepathy.

Glitnirhads are known for their advanced understanding of crystallography and resonant frequencies, which they utilize to construct their cities and tools. Their society is communal, with individuals contributing to the collective knowledge and well-being of the hive. They are a peaceful species, rarely engaging in conflict and prioritizing exploration and the pursuit of knowledge. Their life cycle is exceptionally long, with individuals capable of living for millennia, accumulating vast amounts of wisdom and experience.
