Zatnyari

Zatnyari is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the K'tharr Nebula. Physically, they are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which shifts in color based on their emotional state and ambient light. Their average height is around 1.8 meters, with a slender build and elongated limbs. They possess large, multifaceted eyes that provide excellent low-light vision, a necessity given Xylos's dim sun.

The Zatnyari are a telepathic species, communicating primarily through complex mental imagery and emotional resonance rather than vocalizations. This telepathic ability also allows them to form strong communal bonds and exhibit a high degree of empathy. Their society is structured around collaborative collectives, with decisions made through consensus facilitated by their telepathic network.

Culturally, the Zatnyari place a high value on knowledge and artistic expression. Their civilization has developed advanced technologies, particularly in the fields of bio-engineering and energy manipulation, yet they maintain a deep respect for their natural environment. They are known for their intricate woven sculptures and harmonic sonic landscapes, which are integral to their spiritual practices. While generally peaceful and introspective, the Zatnyari are capable of defending themselves when threatened, employing unique energy-based defensive technologies.
