Ntuman

Ntuman is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which emits a soft, pulsating light, and their four prehensile limbs, allowing for agile movement and manipulation of their environment. Physically, Ntuman are generally slender with large, dark eyes that are highly sensitive to light. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich mosses and fungi found in the caves of Xylos.

Ntuman society is organized into small, nomadic clans, each led by an elder who possesses extensive knowledge of Xylos's ecosystems and history. Communication among Ntuman is a complex interplay of vocalizations, subtle light patterns emitted by their skin, and intricate gestural language. They are known for their peaceful nature and deep respect for the natural world, often engaging in elaborate rituals to honor the flora and fauna of their homeworld. Their technology is organic and integrated with their environment, focusing on sustainable practices rather than industrial advancement. Encounters with other species are rare, and Ntuman are typically shy and cautious, preferring to observe from a distance. Their reproductive cycle is tied to the planet's lunar phases, with offspring developing within specialized bioluminescent pods.
