Urks

Urks are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their thick, leathery skin, which ranges in color from deep violet to earthy brown, and their four prehensile limbs. Urks possess large, multifaceted eyes that allow for exceptional peripheral vision, and a series of small, bioluminescent nodules along their spines that are believed to play a role in communication. Their diet consists primarily of subterranean fungi and mineral-rich soil.

The Urks are a communal species, living in elaborate underground burrow systems that can extend for miles. Their society is structured around a collective consciousness, where individual thoughts and emotions are shared and processed within the community. This allows for efficient problem-solving and a strong sense of unity. They are known for their intricate stonework and their ability to harness geothermal energy from Xylos's core for their advanced technological needs. Despite their imposing appearance, Urks are generally peaceful and introspective, preferring observation and quiet contemplation over direct conflict. Their primary form of interaction with other species, when it occurs, is through complex, melodic vocalizations that are difficult for non-Urks to fully comprehend.
