Kasuvenu

Kasuvenu is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which pulses with a soft, blue-green light in response to their emotional state. This light can range from a gentle glow when content to rapid, intense flashes when agitated or threatened.

Physically, kasuvenu are bipedal humanoids, standing an average of six feet tall. They possess large, dark eyes adapted to the low-light conditions of Xylos, and delicate, three-fingered hands. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich fungi found in the subterranean caverns of their homeworld.

Kasuvenu society is organized into small, communal clans, with a strong emphasis on collective well-being and harmony. They communicate through a complex system of vocalizations, subtle shifts in bioluminescence, and a form of telepathic resonance that allows for the sharing of emotions and simple ideas within close proximity. Their technological advancements are focused on bio-engineering and sustainable energy, eschewing more destructive forms of progress. They have a deep reverence for the natural world and view themselves as caretakers of Xylos.
