Rockowegos

Rockowegos are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a silicon-based lifeform, characterized by their rocky exoskeletons and slow metabolism. Their bodies are composed of various minerals and crystalline structures, giving them a distinct, multifaceted appearance. Rockowegos typically grow to be between two and three meters in height, with a broad, stocky build.

These beings communicate through a series of low-frequency vibrations and subtle shifts in their exoskeletal patterns, which are imperceptible to most other species. Their diet consists primarily of mineral deposits and geothermal energy, which they absorb directly through specialized pores in their bodies. Rockowegos are known for their extreme longevity, with some individuals estimated to live for several millennia.

Socially, Rockowegos live in small, nomadic clans, moving across the mineral-rich plains of Xylos in search of sustenance. They are a peaceful and contemplative species, with a deep understanding of geological processes and planetary formation. Their technology, if it can be called that, is entirely integrated into their biological systems, allowing them to manipulate geological forces on a small scale for shelter and resource gathering. They have no known interstellar presence or interaction with other sentient species, preferring to remain isolated on their homeworld.
