Klohat

Klohat is a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which emits a soft blue light that intensifies when they experience strong emotions. Klohat possess a unique physiology, with a crystalline exoskeleton that provides both protection and a means of absorbing ambient energy from Xylos's twin suns. This energy sustains them, eliminating the need for traditional food sources.

Socially, Klohat live in communal, subterranean cities carved into Xylos's vast cave systems. Their society is structured around a collective consciousness, where individuals share thoughts and experiences, fostering a deep sense of unity and empathy. Communication occurs through a combination of telepathic projection and intricate light patterns emitted from their skin. They are a peaceful species, prioritizing harmony and knowledge acquisition above all else. Their primary scientific pursuit involves understanding the fundamental forces of the universe, particularly the nature of dark matter.

The Klohat civilization has developed advanced technologies, primarily focused on energy manipulation and interstellar travel, though they rarely venture beyond their own star system. Their history is marked by a single, catastrophic event known as the Great Illumination, which is believed to have been a collective psychic awakening that reshaped their species and their planet.
