Zenéikets

Zenéikets is a fictional plant species native to the arid regions of the planet Xylos. This hardy flora is characterized by its deep root system, which allows it to efficiently absorb scarce water resources from the subterranean soil layers. Its leaves are thick and waxy, a crucial adaptation to minimize water loss through transpiration in the harsh desert environment. The color of Zenéikets foliage typically ranges from a pale grey-green to a muted silver, often giving the landscape a shimmering appearance under the Xylosian sun.

The plant produces a unique, bioluminescent flower that blooms only during the brief twilight period of Xylosian days. These flowers emit a soft, ethereal blue light, believed to attract nocturnal pollinators. The seeds of Zenéikets are encased in a tough, leathery pod that can withstand extreme temperatures and prolonged dry spells, ensuring the species' survival. Local Xylosian fauna has adapted to consume various parts of the Zenéikets, with its nutrient-rich tubers being a primary food source for several herbivorous species. The plant plays a vital role in the Xylosian ecosystem, stabilizing the sandy soil and providing a consistent, albeit limited, source of sustenance.
