Reidors

Reidors are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a silicon-based lifeform, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons that shimmer with various colors depending on their mood and the ambient light. Reidors are known for their exceptional longevity, with lifespans often exceeding several millennia. They communicate through a complex system of bioluminescent patterns and subtle vibrations emitted from their exoskeletons, which are undetectable by most other species.

Physically, Reidors are bipedal and possess four arms, each ending in a set of three sharp, crystalline digits. Their heads are characterized by a large, multifaceted eye that allows for a wide spectrum of vision, including ultraviolet and infrared light. They do not possess traditional mouths, instead absorbing nutrients directly through specialized pores on their lower limbs. Reidors are a highly intelligent and philosophical species, deeply connected to the geological processes of their homeworld. Their society is organized into communal "clusters" centered around significant crystalline formations. They have a profound understanding of mineralogy and crystallography, which forms the basis of their technology and art. Reidors are generally peaceful and introspective, preferring contemplation and the study of the universe to conflict.
