Poleths

Poleths are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which emits a soft, pulsing light, and their four slender limbs. Their bodies are encased in a flexible, chitinous exoskeleton that provides protection. Poleths communicate through a complex series of light patterns and subtle vocalizations, making their language difficult for other species to decipher.

Their society is highly communal, with individuals living in large, interconnected hive structures. Each Poleth has a specific role within the hive, contributing to the collective well-being. They are known for their advanced understanding of bio-engineering and energy manipulation, having developed sophisticated technologies that are integrated seamlessly with their natural environment.

Poleths are generally peaceful and introspective, preferring to observe and learn rather than engage in conflict. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich crystalline formations found deep within Xylos. They have a long lifespan, with individuals living for several Xylosian centuries. Their reproductive cycle is tied to specific planetary alignments, occurring only once every fifty years. Little is known about their early history, but it is believed they evolved from simple subterranean organisms.
