Praats

Praats are a fictional species inhabiting the planet Xylos in the popular science fiction novel "The Xylosian Chronicles." These beings are characterized by their tall, slender physique and their iridescent, scale-like skin that shifts in color depending on their emotional state. Praats possess a unique form of bioluminescence, which they utilize for communication in the dim, subterranean environments they typically inhabit. Their diet consists primarily of Xylosian fungi and mineral-rich subterranean plants. Socially, Praats live in tightly knit communal colonies, valuing cooperation and collective decision-making. They are known for their advanced understanding of geomancy, a practice involving the manipulation of geological forces. While generally peaceful, Praats are fiercely protective of their ancestral lands and have a deep-seated reverence for the planet's core. Their technology, though not spacefaring, is highly sophisticated in areas related to energy generation and environmental control. The Praats' culture places a strong emphasis on storytelling and the preservation of their history through intricate oral traditions.
