Kelmuts

Kelmuts are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are bipedal humanoids, typically standing around 1.8 meters tall, with a lean build. Their skin coloration ranges from pale grey to a deep indigo, often with bioluminescent markings that shift in intensity and pattern based on their emotional state or environmental conditions. Kelmuts possess large, expressive eyes that are usually black or deep violet, capable of perceiving a wider spectrum of light than humans. Their hearing is also highly developed, with two pairs of ear-like appendages located on the sides of their heads.

The Kelmut society is organized into a collective consciousness known as the "Synapse." This allows for a limited form of telepathic communication, fostering strong communal bonds and efficient problem-solving. Individual Kelmuts retain their autonomy but can tap into the Synapse for shared knowledge and emotional support. Their technological advancements are deeply integrated with organic principles, focusing on bio-engineering and energy manipulation. They are known for their peaceful disposition and their deep respect for all forms of life, often acting as mediators in intergalactic disputes. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich algae and synthesized proteins. Kelmuts have a lifespan of approximately 300 Xylosian years, which translates to roughly 250 Earth years.
