Kalapots

Kalapots are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their unusual physiology, which includes a crystalline exoskeleton and bioluminescent internal organs. The Xylosian atmosphere is rich in rare gases, which the Kalapots are believed to metabolize, contributing to their unique biological processes. Their diet consists primarily of mineral-rich rocks and subterranean fungi found on their home world.

Physically, Kalapots are bipedal, with an average height of 1.5 meters. Their limbs are slender and end in prehensile digits, adapted for manipulating their rocky environment. They possess multiple compound eyes, providing a wide field of vision. Communication among Kalapots is achieved through a complex combination of light pulses emitted from their internal organs and subtle vibrations produced by their exoskeletons. They are known to be a highly communal species, living in large subterranean colonies.

The Kalapots' civilization on Xylos is advanced, with a focus on crystalline engineering and energy manipulation. They have developed sophisticated technologies that harness geothermal energy and the planet's unique atmospheric composition. Their societal structure is hierarchical, with elders who possess extensive knowledge of Xylosian history and technology holding positions of leadership. While generally peaceful, they are known to be fiercely protective of their homeworld and its resources. Little is known about their interactions with other species, as they have historically maintained a degree of isolation.
