Ottukians

Ottukians are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos. They are a bipedal, sentient race characterized by their dense, crystalline exoskeletons that range in color from deep emerald to sapphire blue. This exoskeleton provides both protection and a unique method of communication through resonating vibrations. Ottukians have large, multifaceted eyes capable of perceiving a broad spectrum of light, and possess a complex internal structure that allows for energy absorption directly from Xylos' twin suns.

The Ottukian society is structured around communal living and a deep reverence for the natural world. They are known for their advanced understanding of bio-engineering and their ability to manipulate Xylos' unique flora and fauna for their needs. Their technology often integrates organic components, making it appear as if it has grown rather than been built. Ottukians are generally a peaceful species, valuing cooperation and intellectual pursuits above conflict. Their history is marked by periods of great scientific discovery and philosophical development, with minimal records of interspecies warfare. They have a long-standing tradition of oral history, passed down through intricate sonic patterns generated by their exoskeletons.
