Oyids
Oyids is a fictional species that first appeared in the science fiction novel "The Void Between Worlds" by Anya Sharma. The Oyids are described as a highly intelligent, silicon-based life form originating from a planet with an extremely harsh, high-temperature environment. Physically, they are characterized by a crystalline exoskeleton and a multifaceted sensory apparatus. Their physiology allows them to withstand radiation and extreme heat, conditions that would be lethal to carbon-based life.
Communication among Oyids is primarily telepathic, supplemented by intricate patterns of light emitted from their bodies.
