Múllóchers

Múllóchers are a hypothetical species of subterranean dwelling creatures originating from the fictional world of Xylos. Their defining characteristic is their bioluminescent hide, which emits a soft, pulsating green light. This luminescence is thought to be a result of symbiotic bacteria living within their skin. Múllóchers are typically described as having a stocky build, short limbs, and large, clawed hands adapted for digging through the dense soil and rock of their underground environment. Their eyes are small and appear to be vestigial, suggesting a reliance on other senses, such as echolocation or a highly developed sense of smell, for navigation and hunting in the perpetual darkness.

The diet of Múllóchers is believed to consist primarily of mineral-rich fungi and small invertebrates found in underground caverns. Their social structure is largely unknown, but some speculative texts suggest they live in small, nomadic family units. Communication among Múllóchers is theorized to involve a combination of low-frequency vocalizations, which can travel long distances underground, and subtle changes in the intensity and pattern of their bioluminescence. Despite their somewhat formidable appearance and subterranean lifestyle, Múllóchers are generally depicted as reclusive and non-aggressive, preferring to avoid contact with other species. Their existence remains purely within the realm of speculative fiction.
