Noghris
Noghris are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the fictional universe of Starfield. They are characterized by their distinctive crystalline exoskeletons, which refract light in a dazzling array of colors. These exoskeletons serve as both protection and a means of communication, with subtle shifts in color and pattern conveying emotion and intent. Noghris are known for their highly communal societies, living in large, interconnected crystalline structures. Their physiology is adapted to Xylos's unique atmospheric conditions, which are rich in exotic gases. Noghris are primarily herbivorous, feeding on the bioluminescent flora of their home world. Their society is highly advanced technologically, with a focus on energy manipulation and bio-engineering. While generally peaceful, they are fiercely protective of their territory and resources. Interactions with other species can be challenging due to their unique communication methods and deeply ingrained cultural practices, which often emphasize patience and collective decision-making. Noghris are a significant presence in the Xylos system and are considered a key species in the wider galactic community.
