Kerks

Kerks are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their unique bio-luminescent skin, which changes color based on their emotional state. This trait makes them highly expressive, though it can also make them vulnerable to predators who can easily track their moods. Physically, Kerks are tall and slender, with four arms and large, dark eyes that are adapted to the dim light of their homeworld. Their diet consists primarily of Xylosian flora, which they cultivate in specialized underground farms.

The Kerks have a complex societal structure based on communal living and a deep respect for their elders. Their technology is primarily bio-engineered, focusing on organic growth and integration rather than mechanical construction. They have developed sophisticated methods of inter-species communication, utilizing a combination of telepathic abilities and sonic frequencies. While generally peaceful, the Kerks are fiercely protective of their homeworld and have been known to defend it with advanced bio-weaponry. Their history is rich with tales of exploration and philosophical inquiry, often revolving around understanding the cosmic energies that permeate their galaxy.
