Qubuts

Qubuts are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their unusual physiology, which includes a silicon-based biology and a bioluminescent skin that changes color based on their emotional state. Qubuts are typically bipedal, with four arms and a large, bulbous head. Their diet consists primarily of mineral-rich rocks and crystalline structures found on Xylos.

Socially, Qubuts are organized into communal hives, with each hive led by a matriarch. Communication is achieved through a combination of telepathic pulses and complex light patterns emitted from their skin. They are a peaceful and contemplative species, with a deep understanding of astronomy and the natural world. Their technology, while not as advanced as some other galactic civilizations, is highly integrated with their environment, focusing on sustainable energy and bio-engineering. Qubuts have a long lifespan, often exceeding several centuries, which allows for the accumulation of vast knowledge and cultural traditions. They are known to be curious about other species but are generally reclusive and prefer to observe from afar.
