Zytharian

Zytharian is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which shifts in color depending on their emotional state. This trait is a result of symbiotic microorganisms living within their epidermal layers. Zytharians possess a unique respiratory system that allows them to extract oxygen from Xylos's methane-rich atmosphere. Their physical form is slender and tall, with elongated limbs and three-fingered hands.

The Zytharian society is highly communal and organized around a collective consciousness, facilitated by a form of telepathic communication. Individuality is not suppressed but is understood as a facet of the greater whole. Their technology is advanced, particularly in the fields of bio-engineering and energy manipulation, drawing power from Xylos's geothermal activity. Zytharians have a deep respect for nature and their planet, which they consider a sacred entity. They have a long-standing peace treaty with the neighboring species, the K'tharr, based on mutual scientific exchange and cultural understanding. Their primary mode of travel is through bio-engineered ships that mimic natural phenomena.
