Millibians

Millibians are a fictional species native to the planet Veridia. They are characterized by their small stature, averaging only three feet in height, and their bioluminescent skin which glows with a soft, ethereal light. This luminescence serves as a primary form of communication, with different patterns and intensities conveying a range of emotions and intentions. Millibians possess large, dark eyes that are highly sensitive to low light conditions, allowing them to navigate the dense, twilight forests of Veridia.

The society of Millibians is highly communal, with individuals living in interconnected underground dwellings. They are known for their advanced understanding of botany and their harmonious relationship with their planet's ecosystem. Millibians are primarily herbivorous, subsisting on a diet of luminous fungi and nutrient-rich roots. Their technology, while not industrial in nature, is sophisticated, focusing on bio-engineering and energy manipulation derived from natural sources. They have a deep respect for life and have historically avoided conflict, preferring diplomacy and understanding. Their culture emphasizes empathy and cooperation, and they have a rich oral tradition of storytelling and song.
