Meljars

Meljars are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are known for their bioluminescent skin, which changes color based on their mood and environment. Meljars possess a unique respiratory system that allows them to breathe in both oxygen-rich and methane-rich atmospheres, a trait that has allowed them to thrive in diverse ecosystems across Xylos.

Physically, Meljars are tall and slender, with elongated limbs and four prehensile fingers on each hand. Their eyes are large and multifaceted, capable of seeing in a spectrum beyond human perception. They communicate through a complex series of clicks, whistles, and subtle shifts in their bioluminescent patterns, a language that is difficult for other species to fully comprehend.

The Meljars are a communal species, living in large, interconnected hive-like structures carved into the crystalline mountains of Xylos. Their society is deeply rooted in cooperation and the sharing of knowledge, with elders holding a significant role in guiding younger generations. They are known for their advanced understanding of bio-engineering and their ability to manipulate organic matter to create tools and shelters. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich fungi and subterranean flora, which they cultivate with great care.
