Vildhrae

Vildhrae is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are known for their crystalline exoskeletons, which refract light in a spectrum of colors, giving them a shimmering appearance. Vildhrae possess a unique biological structure, with their internal organs encased within a lattice of specialized silicate-based compounds. This structure allows them to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures found in their native Xylosian environment, which is characterized by volcanic activity and high atmospheric density.

The Vildhrae communicate through a complex system of bio-luminescent pulses emitted from specialized organs beneath their exoskeletons, as well as through subtle vibrational frequencies. Their society is communal, with individuals often working together to construct intricate crystalline cities that grow organically from the planet's surface. Vildhrae are known for their advanced understanding of geology and energy manipulation, drawing power directly from Xylos's geothermal core. Their primary diet consists of mineral deposits and specialized symbiotic fungi that thrive in the planet's unique ecosystem. While generally peaceful, Vildhrae are fiercely protective of their homeworld and its resources.
