Langtoks

Langtoks are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which changes color based on their emotional state and ambient light conditions. This unique characteristic serves as a primary form of communication among Langtoks, allowing for complex social interactions and expressions of feeling.

Physically, Langtoks are tall and slender, with multiple, independently moving limbs. Their heads are small and streamlined, featuring large, multifaceted eyes that can perceive a wider spectrum of light than most known species. They possess a digestive system that can process a wide variety of organic matter, though they primarily subsist on nutrient-rich fungi found in Xylos's subterranean caverns.

Langtok society is highly communal and organized around a complex system of shared consciousness, facilitated by their bioluminescent communication. Individuality is recognized but often secondary to the needs and well-being of the collective. Their culture is rich in artistic expression, particularly in the form of light sculptures and sonic resonations that mirror the patterns of their bioluminescence. They are known for their peaceful disposition and a deep reverence for the natural ecosystems of Xylos. Their technology, while advanced, is largely organic and integrated with their environment, focusing on sustainable energy and bio-engineering.
