Umlkyns

Umlkyns are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the fictional Andromeda Galaxy. They are known for their unique biological adaptations, including bioluminescent skin that allows them to communicate through intricate light patterns and a symbiotic relationship with a native Xylosian flora called Lumina Moss. This moss not only provides them with sustenance but also aids in their respiratory system. Umlkyns are generally peaceful and possess a sophisticated understanding of astrophysics and interdimensional travel, technologies they have developed through centuries of observation and research.

Their society is organized into communal enclaves, each led by an elder council chosen for their wisdom and understanding of Xylosian lore. Umlkyns have a distinctive physical appearance, characterized by slender frames, large, multifaceted eyes capable of perceiving a broader spectrum of light, and four prehensile limbs. Their culture emphasizes harmony with their environment and a collective approach to problem-solving. While generally reclusive, Umlkyns have been known to engage with other galactic civilizations for the exchange of knowledge and resources, particularly when facing cosmic threats or seeking to expand their understanding of the universe. Their origins are rooted in the planet's primordial oceans, with evolutionary pressures leading to their current terrestrial form.
