arfgengs

Arfgengs are a hypothetical species described in speculative fiction. Their defining characteristic is their unique method of locomotion, which involves a complex interplay of bioluminescent organs and rapid, rhythmic muscle contractions. This process creates a shimmering, almost fluid movement that can be difficult for observers to fully track. Their biology is theorized to be adapted to extremely low-light environments, where their bioluminescence serves both for navigation and communication.

The sensory apparatus of arfgengs is believed to be highly attuned to subtle shifts in light and vibration, rather than conventional sight or hearing. Their physical forms are often depicted as elongated and sinuous, with multiple appendages that may aid in both movement and manipulation of their environment. There is no scientific consensus or evidence regarding the existence of arfgengs, as they originate solely from imaginative storytelling. Their conceptualization often explores themes of alien biology and the possibilities of non-terrestrial life forms.
