Larckers

Larckers are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their unique bio-luminescent properties, emitting a soft, pulsating light from their epidermal layer. This light serves multiple purposes, including communication, navigation in their perpetually twilight world, and attracting prey. Larckers are typically described as bipedal, with a slender build and elongated limbs. Their skin texture is smooth and slightly viscous, aiding in their movement through Xylos's dense atmosphere.

The diet of a Larcker consists primarily of smaller Xylosian fauna and certain nutrient-rich fungi that grow in subterranean caverns. They possess a sophisticated digestive system capable of extracting energy from these sources. Socially, Larckers are believed to live in small, nomadic groups, forming strong familial bonds. Their communication, beyond the visual cues of their bio-luminescence, is thought to involve a series of low-frequency hums and clicks. While their technological advancement is not fully understood, observations suggest a rudimentary understanding of their environment and a focus on sustainable living. Encounters with other species are rare, and their disposition is generally considered peaceful, though they will defend themselves if threatened. The study of Larckers continues to be a focus for xenobiologists seeking to understand life beyond Earth.
