Mostams

Mostams are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their crystalline exoskeletons and their ability to communicate through bioluminescent patterns. Physically, Mostams are bipedal, standing approximately 1.8 meters tall on average. Their bodies are composed of silicon-based compounds, which give them a translucent, multifaceted appearance. They have three limbs, two for locomotion and one highly dexterous appendage used for manipulation. Their sensory organs are located in a cluster at the top of their head, allowing for a wide field of vision and detection of subtle atmospheric changes.

The Mostam society is structured around communal living and a deep respect for their environment. They have a unique form of collective consciousness, allowing them to share knowledge and experiences almost instantaneously within their communities. This shared consciousness is facilitated by their bioluminescent communication, which also plays a crucial role in their cultural practices and artistic expressions. Their diet consists primarily of minerals extracted from Xylos's rich geological formations. Mostams are known for their peaceful disposition and their advanced understanding of astrophysics and energy manipulation, though they have historically shown little interest in interstellar expansion.
