Jallels

Jallels are a fictional species that inhabit the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their crystalline exoskeletons, which shimmer with a variety of iridescent colors depending on their mood and the ambient light. Jallels are bipedal, standing on average around 1.8 meters tall, with long, slender limbs and a small, triangular head featuring two large, compound eyes. These eyes allow them to perceive a broader spectrum of light than most known species.

The Jallel society is structured around communal living in large, cavernous dwellings carved from Xylos's mineral-rich crust. They are primarily a telepathic species, communicating through intricate patterns of light pulses emitted from their exoskeletons and subtle shifts in their mental projections. This telepathic ability fosters a deep sense of empathy and cooperation within their communities. Their diet consists mainly of mineral deposits, which they process through a unique internal bioluminescent system. Jallel reproduction is asexual, occurring through a process of crystalline budding. They are a peaceful species, generally avoiding conflict and focusing their energy on the study of Xylos's unique geological and atmospheric phenomena. Their technology is bio-integrated, often grown rather than built, and they possess a profound understanding of crystalline energy manipulation.
