Nöstratias

Nöstratias is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda Galaxy. These beings are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which allows them to communicate through complex patterns of light. Their physiology is adapted to Xylos's low-gravity environment, featuring elongated limbs and a light, porous skeletal structure. Nöstratias are primarily herbivorous, subsisting on the phosphorescent flora native to their homeworld.

Socially, Nöstratias live in communal, hive-like structures built from naturally occurring crystalline formations. Their society is highly organized, with a complex caste system determined by subtle variations in their bioluminescent hues. They are known for their advanced understanding of organic engineering and their ability to manipulate light for both practical and artistic purposes. Nöstratias have a unique reproductive cycle, involving a communal merging of genetic material during specific astronomical alignments. Their civilization has had limited contact with other species, preferring to focus on internal development and exploration of their own galaxy.
