Jaaks

Jaaks are a fictional species that originate from the planet Xylos. They are known for their distinctive physical characteristics, including a smooth, grey skin, large, luminous eyes that can see in low light conditions, and a pair of retractable antennae on their heads used for sensing vibrations and atmospheric changes. Jaaks are generally bipedal, standing at an average height of 1.8 meters, with slender limbs and three-fingered hands. Their diet consists primarily of bioluminescent fungi found in the subterranean caves of Xylos.

Culturally, Jaaks are a communal species, living in interconnected underground cities. Their society is structured around a council of elders who make decisions based on consensus. They are known for their advanced understanding of acoustics and vibration, which they use in their communication, art, and technology. Their language is a complex series of clicks, hums, and subtle antenna movements. Jaaks have a deep respect for their planet's ecosystem and have developed sustainable technologies that minimize their environmental impact. They are generally a peaceful species, though they are capable of defending themselves if threatened. Their society has a strong emphasis on knowledge and exploration, particularly concerning the natural world of Xylos.
