Loopans

Loopans are a fictional species inhabiting the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their bioluminescent skin, which they can control to communicate and navigate their perpetually dim environment. Physically, loopans are bipedal, standing approximately five feet tall, with slender limbs and large, multifaceted eyes. They possess a unique organ on their foreheads that amplifies their bioluminescent capabilities, allowing for intricate patterns and color changes.

The loopan society is organized into small, nomadic tribes, each led by an elder who possesses the strongest bioluminescent control. Their diet consists primarily of subterranean fungi and small, glowing insects. Loopans have a deep spiritual connection to Xylos's core, believing it to be the source of all life and light. Their technology is limited, focusing on organic cultivation and harnessing natural energy sources rather than complex machinery. They are a peaceful species, rarely engaging in conflict and prioritizing cooperation within their tribes. Inter-tribal communication is achieved through elaborate bioluminescent displays, conveying emotions and complex ideas across vast distances. Little is known about their reproduction or lifespan beyond their tribal traditions.
