Telters

Telters are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos. They are known for their bioluminescent skin, which they use for communication and display. Telters have a slender build, with long limbs and three-fingered hands. Their heads are elongated, featuring large, dark eyes and a set of feathery antennae that are sensitive to atmospheric changes.

The Xylosian environment is characterized by low light conditions and a dense, humid atmosphere. Telters have adapted to this environment with their keen eyesight and their ability to sense subtle shifts in air currents and chemical composition through their antennae. Their bioluminescence can range in color from soft blues and greens to vibrant purples and reds, and the patterns and intensity of these lights convey complex messages, emotions, and social status.

Telter society is communal, with individuals living in interconnected subterranean dwellings. They are primarily herbivores, subsisting on a variety of glowing fungi and Xylosian flora. Their culture emphasizes harmony with their environment and a deep respect for ancestral knowledge. While typically peaceful, Telters can become fiercely protective of their territory and their young when threatened. Their reproductive cycle involves a unique symbiotic relationship with specific Xylosian plants, ensuring the survival of their species.
