Helikaals

Helikaals is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which shifts in color depending on their emotional state and environmental conditions. Physically, Helikaals are tall and slender, with four prehensile limbs and large, multifaceted eyes that allow for exceptional vision in low light. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich fungi found in the extensive cave systems of Xylos.

The Helikaals society is organized into symbiotic clans, where each member contributes to the collective well-being of the group. Communication among Helikaals is a complex blend of vocalizations, subtle shifts in bioluminescence, and intricate gestural language. They possess a deep understanding of Xylos's unique flora and fauna, and their technology is largely bio-integrated, focusing on sustainable energy and advanced organic engineering. Their cultural practices often revolve around communal storytelling and the reverence of natural cycles, particularly the biannual planetary aurora.
