Kelduns

Kelduns are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which pulses with a soft blue light, and their four slender limbs, each ending in three prehensile digits. Kelduns possess large, multifaceted eyes that allow them to perceive a wider spectrum of light than most known species. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich mosses and fungi that grow in the subterranean caves of Xylos, where they typically reside.

Communication among Kelduns is achieved through a complex system of light patterns emitted from their skin, accompanied by subtle vocalizations that resemble chirping. This dual form of communication allows for nuanced expression of emotions and ideas. Keldun society is organized into small, communal groups called "Glows," which cooperate in foraging and defense. They are known for their peaceful nature and deep connection to their environment, viewing the planet Xylos as a sacred entity.

Interactions with other species are rare, as Kelduns generally prefer isolation. However, when contact does occur, they are observed to be cautious but curious. Their technology is organic in nature, focusing on bio-engineering and harnessing natural energy sources rather than mechanical constructs. This includes the cultivation of specialized plants for tools and shelter. The Keldun reproductive cycle is tied to the planet's tidal moons, with offspring developing within luminous egg-sacs.
