Teréneks

Teréneks are a fictional sapient species originating from the tidally locked planet of Xylos. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which allows them to communicate through complex patterns of light. Teréneks possess a dual-heart system and a respiratory organ adapted to the methane-rich atmosphere of their homeworld. Their society is organized into loosely affiliated nomadic clans, each with specialized roles related to resource gathering and defense. Teréneks have a unique relationship with the planet's crystalline flora, which they cultivate for sustenance and building materials. Their technology, while not as advanced as some galactic civilizations, is highly efficient and integrated with their natural environment. Their philosophy emphasizes balance and interconnectedness with all living things, a concept deeply ingrained in their cultural practices and artistic expressions. Interactions with other species have been limited, often marked by caution due to the Teréneks' natural xenophobia, but they are known to be fiercely loyal to those who earn their trust.
