Kuumpuns

Kuumpuns are a fictional species from the science fiction universe of Mass Effect. They originate from the planet Ilos and are a highly advanced, ancient race. Kuumpuns are characterized by their unique biological structure, often described as being composed of crystalline or metallic elements, allowing for remarkable resilience and longevity. They possess a profound understanding of technology and are known for their ability to manipulate advanced machinery.

Historically, the Kuumpuns played a significant role in the galactic events leading up to the Prothean extinction. They are believed to have developed advanced defenses and conducted extensive research into various galactic threats. However, they ultimately succumbed to a galactic plague or a similar catastrophic event, leaving behind only their ruins and the remnants of their sophisticated technology. The rediscovery of Kuumpun artifacts and knowledge is a recurring theme for explorers and archaeologists in the Mass Effect timeline. Their legacy often presents both opportunities and dangers for other species encountering their ancient creations.
