Rockedrons

Rockedrons are a fictional species that inhabit the planet Xylos. They are a silicon-based lifeform, with their bodies composed primarily of crystalline structures that resemble various types of rock. Their physical appearance varies greatly, but they generally possess a sturdy, multifaceted form. Their coloration can range from deep grays and blacks to vibrant greens and blues, depending on the mineral composition of their environment.

The Rockedrons are known for their slow metabolism and incredibly long lifespans. They communicate through a series of resonant vibrations and subtle shifts in their crystalline matrix, a process that can be imperceptible to other species. Their society is communal, with individuals often merging their physical forms for extended periods to share knowledge and experiences. They do not possess conventional sensory organs, instead perceiving their surroundings through geological vibrations and subtle changes in atmospheric pressure.

Their diet consists of trace minerals absorbed directly from the surrounding rock formations. Rockedrons are a peaceful and introspective species, dedicating their existence to observing the slow geological processes of their homeworld. They have developed a profound understanding of Xylos's tectonic activity and mineral cycles, often acting as passive guardians of its geological integrity. Interactions with off-world species are rare, as their existence is deeply intertwined with the unique mineralogy of Xylos.
