Kstlaras

Kstlaras is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Kepler-186 system. They are known for their bioluminescent qualities, emitting a soft, pulsating light from specialized organs embedded in their exoskeletons. This luminescence serves various purposes, including communication, attracting mates, and warding off predators.

Physically, Kstlaras are characterized by a segmented body structure, averaging 1.5 meters in height. They possess four limbs, two for locomotion and two prehensile appendages used for manipulation. Their sensory organs are primarily concentrated in a head-like structure, featuring multifaceted eyes that can perceive a wider spectrum of light than humans. Their diet consists mainly of photosynthetic organisms found on Xylos.

Kstlaras society is communal and deeply interconnected, with individuals often sharing a symbiotic relationship with the flora of their homeworld. They have developed a complex system of non-verbal communication, utilizing their bioluminescence in intricate patterns and rhythms. Their technological advancement is focused on bio-integration, seamlessly blending organic and technological elements to create sustainable living environments and tools. Little is known about their interactions with other species, as their civilization has historically remained isolated on Xylos.
