Radizios

Radizios are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their bioluminescent skin, which they can control to communicate complex emotions and warnings. Radizios are tall, slender beings with four arms and large, multifaceted eyes that allow them to see in a wide spectrum of light. Their diet consists primarily of crystalline fungi that grow in Xylos's subterranean caverns.

The Radizio society is highly communal, with individuals often merging their consciousness for short periods to share knowledge and experiences. This collective consciousness is facilitated by a symbiotic organism that lives within their cranial cavity. Their technology is bio-integrated, meaning their tools and structures are grown rather than built, often incorporating living Xylosian flora and fauna.

Radizios are generally peaceful and have a deep respect for all life. They have had limited contact with other galactic species, primarily due to the remote location of Xylos. Their primary form of entertainment involves intricate light displays created by synchronized bioluminescence, often accompanied by harmonic vocalizations. They are known to be highly intelligent and possess a philosophical outlook, often contemplating the interconnectedness of the universe. Their reproductive cycle is complex, involving a communal spawning event that occurs once every Xylosian century.
