Idiótérgli

Idiótérgli is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the K'tharr system. These beings are characterized by their unique bioluminescent skin, which shifts in color and intensity based on their emotional state and ambient light conditions. Their physiology is adapted to Xylos's dense, humid atmosphere, with large, multi-faceted eyes that provide excellent vision in low light. Idiótérgli possess a semi-aquatic lifestyle, spending a significant portion of their lives in the planet's extensive network of subterranean rivers and lakes.

The social structure of the Idiótérgli is communal, with individuals living in large, interconnected family groups. Communication is primarily through a complex system of modulated bioluminescent flashes and low-frequency vocalizations, which can travel considerable distances through water. They are known for their gentle nature and deep connection to their environment, exhibiting advanced understanding of Xylos's ecosystem. Their diet consists mainly of nutrient-rich algae and small aquatic invertebrates. While generally peaceful, they are fiercely protective of their young and their natural habitats. Little is known about their technological development, as their societal focus appears to be on harmony with nature rather than industrial advancement. Their reproductive cycle is slow, with offspring requiring extended parental care.
