Klums

Klums are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the "Starlight Saga" science fiction series. They are a sapient, bipedal species characterized by their thick, leathery skin, which ranges in color from deep greens to earthy browns. Klums possess a broad, flat head with two large, luminous eyes that provide excellent night vision, a trait essential for their native dimly lit environment. Their limbs are stumpy and powerful, ending in broad, three-fingered hands and feet adapted for navigating rocky terrain.

Socially, Klums are known for their communal nature and strong work ethic. They live in organized subterranean cities, where they excel in mining and engineering. Their society is structured around guilds, with each Klum specializing in a particular craft or trade. Communication among Klums is primarily through a series of deep vocalizations and subtle body language. They are generally a peaceful species, though they are fiercely protective of their home world and their fellow Klums. Their diet consists mainly of root vegetables and mineral-rich fungi. The "Starlight Saga" depicts Klums as allies to other spacefaring races, valued for their resilience and practical problem-solving skills.
