Hopries

Hopries are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which emits a soft, pulsating glow, and their four slender limbs. Their diet consists primarily of crystalline vegetation found in the caves of Xylos. Hopries communicate through a complex series of clicks and whistles, augmented by patterns of light emitted from their skin. They are known for their peaceful nature and deep connection to their planet's natural resources.

Socially, Hopries live in communal structures called "lumina clusters," where they share resources and knowledge. Their society is matriarchal, with elder females leading each cluster. They possess a rudimentary understanding of intergalactic travel, having developed simple atmospheric craft powered by geothermal energy. Their technology is focused on sustainability and harmony with their environment, eschewing aggressive expansion or resource exploitation. Historical records, etched onto glowing cave walls, suggest a long and relatively uneventful existence, marked by periods of artistic and philosophical development. Encounters with other species are rare, and the Hopries generally maintain a policy of non-interference in off-world affairs. Their primary concern is the preservation of Xylos and its unique ecosystem.
