Nyraxs

Nyraxs is a fictional extraterrestrial species appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Their first appearance was in Nova (Volume 5) #1 in December 2016. Nyraxs are a sapient species known for their distinctive physiology, which includes a hard, exoskeletal carapace and multiple limbs. They are native to the planet Xandar, a world that has been a significant location in the Marvel Universe, particularly in stories involving the Nova Corps, Xandar's intergalactic peacekeeping force.

The Nyraxs species is often depicted as being technologically advanced and possessing a strong cultural identity tied to their homeworld and its governance. While not a central species in the Marvel cosmology, their presence on Xandar has made them recurring figures in narratives involving cosmic characters and events. Their appearance and demeanor can vary, but they are generally portrayed as a species capable of interstellar travel and complex societal structures. Information regarding their specific biology beyond their exoskeleton and general societal roles are less detailed, often serving the needs of the particular storyline they inhabit. Their role in the Marvel continuity is primarily as inhabitants of Xandar and its surrounding systems, contributing to the diverse alien population of the Marvel cosmic landscape.
