Roughmys

Roughmys are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their tough, leathery hides, which provide natural protection against the harsh Xylosian environment. Their skin coloration varies, often exhibiting earthy tones that aid in camouflage. Roughmys possess a robust build, with strong limbs adapted for traversing varied terrain.

The diet of a Roughmy is primarily omnivorous, consisting of Xylosian flora and smaller fauna. They are known to be resourceful hunters and gatherers, utilizing their keen senses of smell and hearing to locate food sources. Socially, Roughmys tend to live in small, close-knit family groups. These groups often cooperate for hunting and defense.

Communication among Roughmys involves a complex system of guttural sounds, body posture, and scent marking. While generally peaceable, they can become fiercely territorial when their groups or resources are threatened. Their technological development is considered rudimentary, focusing on practical tools for survival rather than advanced machinery. The Roughmy culture places a strong emphasis on resilience and community interdependence, shaping their interactions and societal structure.
