Itatsbys

Itatsbys are a fictional species from the science fiction television series "Farscape". They are a semi-aquatic, intelligent species native to the planet Ulómi. Physically, Itatsbys are characterized by their reptilian appearance, with smooth, scaled skin, webbed hands and feet, and large, expressive eyes. They possess a bioluminescent quality, allowing them to emit a soft glow in their natural aquatic environment.

The Itatsby culture is deeply connected to their watery homeworld. They are known for their intricate craftsmanship, particularly in the creation of bioluminescent art and music. Their society is organized into communal pods, with a strong emphasis on cooperation and mutual respect. Itatsbys communicate through a combination of vocalizations, gestures, and subtle changes in their bioluminescence.

In the "Farscape" narrative, Itatsbys are generally depicted as peaceful and inquisitive beings. They often serve as allies or neutral parties to the main characters, providing assistance or sharing knowledge. Their unique biology and cultural practices offer a glimpse into the diverse alien lifeforms encountered within the "Farscape" universe. One notable Itatsby character, Rygel XVI, is a disgraced royal who becomes a reluctant member of the Moya crew, showcasing their capacity for both nobility and self-interest.
