Tabukis

Tabukis are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a bipedal, mammalian species characterized by their dense, dark fur, which provides insulation in Xylos's cold climate. Tabukis have large, expressive eyes that are adapted for low-light conditions and a short, prehensile tail used for balance. Their average height is approximately 1.5 meters.

Socially, Tabukis live in close-knit tribal communities, often centered around communal caves for shelter. Their society is matriarchal, with elders holding significant respect and decision-making power. Communication among Tabukis involves a complex system of vocalizations, subtle body language, and scent marking. They are known for their strong sense of community and cooperative nature.

The Tabuki diet consists primarily of subterranean fungi and hardy root vegetables, supplemented by small, burrowing creatures. They have developed sophisticated methods for locating and harvesting these food sources, often using their keen sense of smell and sharp, retractable claws. Their technology is relatively simple, focusing on tools for survival and resource gathering, with a deep understanding of their local ecosystem. They have a rich oral tradition, passing down stories and knowledge through generations.
