Lendasids
Lendasids are a fictional species that originate from the planet Xylos in the Orion Nebula. They are described as bipedal, reptilian humanoids with iridescent scales that shift in color depending on their mood and environmental conditions. Lendasids possess a unique biological trait allowing them to absorb and metabolize solar energy directly, reducing their need for conventional food sources. Their society is characterized by a strong emphasis on collective well-being and communal decision-making, with individual desires often taking a secondary role to the needs of the community. They are known for their advanced understanding of astrophysics and their intricate, crystal-based technology. Lendasid culture places a high value on art, particularly sonic sculptures that utilize resonant frequencies to create complex auditory experiences. Their communication is a blend of vocalizations and subtle shifts in scale coloration, making it challenging for other species to fully comprehend. Historically, Lendasids have maintained a relatively isolationist stance, preferring to observe rather than actively engage with interstellar politics. However, recent reports suggest a growing curiosity about other sentient life forms, leading to a potential shift in their long-held policy of non-interference.
