Muums

Muums are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which pulses with varying colors depending on their emotional state. Muums are known for their gentle nature and their deep connection to the natural world of Xylos, which is rich in crystalline flora and fauna. They communicate through a combination of telepathic imprints and melodic vocalizations, creating intricate symphonies that resonate through their environment.

Physically, Muums are bipedal, with slender limbs and large, expressive eyes. They possess a unique respiratory system that allows them to absorb nutrients directly from the atmosphere, eliminating the need for traditional food consumption. Their life cycle is long, with individuals reaching maturity over several Xylosian centuries. Muums are organized into communal pods, each dedicated to the preservation and study of a specific aspect of Xylosian ecology. They are deeply spiritual, with a belief system centered around the interconnectedness of all life forms and the cosmic energy that permeates the universe. Their society has no concept of conflict or hierarchy, relying instead on consensus and mutual understanding.
