Mudots

Mudots are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their gelatinous bodies, which are semi-transparent and a vibrant shade of blue. Mudots possess no skeletal structure, allowing them to contort their forms into various shapes. They communicate through a complex series of bioluminescent pulses and subtle vibrations that can be felt by other Mudots within a close radius.

Physically, a mature Mudot stands approximately one meter tall when in its most common upright posture. They have two main appendages that can function as both limbs and sensory organs, capable of manipulating objects with surprising dexterity. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich atmospheric gases, which they absorb through specialized pores on their outer membrane. Reproduction among Mudots is asexual, occurring through a process of budding where a small portion of the parent organism detaches and grows into a new individual.

The Mudot civilization is known for its advanced understanding of bio-engineering and atmospheric manipulation. They have developed intricate city-like structures that float within Xylos's dense atmosphere, anchored by bio-luminescent tethers. Their society is highly communal, with a strong emphasis on collective well-being and ecological balance. Interactions with other species are rare, as their homeworld is located in a relatively isolated sector of the galaxy.
