TaliOKs

TaliOKs are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the K'tharr system. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which can change color based on their mood and environment. TaliOKs possess a unique respiratory system that allows them to absorb nutrients directly from the atmosphere, supplementing their diet of specialized Xylosian flora. Their society is highly communal, with individuals working together for the common good of their hive. Communication is primarily telepathic, though they also utilize a complex system of light pulses from their skin for more nuanced interactions. TaliOKs have a life cycle that spans approximately 500 Xylosian years, with distinct stages of growth and development. They are known for their advanced understanding of bio-engineering and their intricate, organic architecture, which is grown rather than built. Their civilization has had limited contact with other species, preferring to focus on the internal development and exploration of their own homeworld. Scientific expeditions have noted their peaceful disposition and deep connection to the ecological systems of Xylos.
