Nareks

Nareks is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a sentient, bipedal race characterized by their thick, leathery hides and a unique bioluminescent pattern that covers their bodies. This bioluminescence is believed to be a form of communication, changing in intensity and color based on their emotional state and social interactions.

Physically, Nareks stand on average around 1.8 meters tall and possess four limbs, with two arms ending in dexterous, multi-fingered hands. Their heads are elongated, featuring large, compound eyes that provide excellent vision in low-light conditions, and a series of small auditory receptors. They have a diet primarily consisting of the mineral-rich flora found on Xylos.

The Nareks civilization is known for its advanced understanding of xenobotanical engineering and intricate crystalline architecture. Their society is structured around a communal, consensus-based governance system. They are generally a peaceful and contemplative species, with a deep reverence for the natural world and a philosophical approach to interspecies relations. Their history is marked by long periods of internal development and a gradual, cautious engagement with other galactic civilizations.
