Lamppun

Lamppun is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are a sentient, bipedal race characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which can change color to communicate emotions and social status. Lamppun possess a natural affinity for understanding and manipulating light, which plays a significant role in their society and technology. Their eyes are large and multifaceted, allowing them to perceive a broader spectrum of light than most species.

The Lamppun society is structured around a communal living system, with an emphasis on cooperation and shared knowledge. Their cities are often built underground or within crystalline structures to better control and utilize natural and artificial light. Their diet consists primarily of luminescent fungi and plants that thrive in Xylos's low-light environment.

Historically, the Lamppun have been a peaceful species, focused on exploration and scientific advancement, particularly in the fields of optics and energy. They have a rich oral tradition, passed down through intricate light displays and song. Encounters with other species have been rare, but when they do occur, the Lamppun are known for their cautious curiosity and their unique methods of non-verbal communication. Their technological development has been organic, stemming from their innate connection to light, leading to innovations in energy generation and light-based weaponry, though the latter is rarely employed.
