Noteeros

Noteeros are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are known for their bioluminescent properties and their communal societal structure. Physically, Noteeros are characterized by their translucent skin which emits a soft, pulsating light, allowing them to communicate through complex patterns of illumination. This light can range in color from cool blues and greens to warmer oranges and reds, depending on their emotional state or intent.

Their physiology is adapted to the dim, subterranean environments of Xylos, where natural light is scarce. Noteeros possess a unique sensory organ that allows them to perceive subtle shifts in ambient energy fields, aiding in navigation and social interaction. They are primarily herbivorous, subsisting on the nutrient-rich fungi that grow in Xylos's cave systems.

Noteero society is organized around large, interconnected colonies, often referred to as "Glow-Cities." Within these colonies, individuals work collaboratively on tasks ranging from resource gathering to the creation of intricate light-based art forms. Decision-making is typically a collective process, with consensus being highly valued. They have developed a sophisticated understanding of bio-engineering, utilizing their innate bioluminescence to cultivate specialized flora and fauna for various purposes. Their interactions with off-world species are rare, as they tend to be reclusive and protective of their home world.
