Harknäärmes

Harknäärmes is a fictional species originating from the speculative fiction novel "The Chronicles of Xylos" by author Elara Vance. The species is described as inhabiting the dense, bioluminescent forests of the planet Xylos. Physically, harknäärmes are depicted as slender, quadrupedal creatures with iridescent scales that shift color depending on their mood and surroundings. They possess large, multifaceted eyes that allow them to see in the low-light conditions of their habitat, and their limbs are adapted for agile movement through arboreal environments.

The social structure of the harknäärmes is communal, with small family units living in symbiotic relationships with specific flora. They are depicted as possessing a unique form of telepathic communication, enabling them to share thoughts and emotions without vocalization. This telepathic ability is also crucial for their navigation and understanding of the complex ecosystem of Xylos. Their diet consists primarily of nectar from glowing flowers and small, phosphorescent insects. The novels suggest they are a peaceful species, largely concerned with maintaining the balance of their environment and avoiding conflict. Their technology, if any, is not explicitly detailed, but their understanding of Xylos's natural processes is profound.
