entangelets

Entangelets are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a silicon-based lifeform, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons and slow metabolic rate. Entangelets communicate through a series of resonant vibrations produced by specialized organs within their bodies, a process that is imperceptible to most other species. Their diet consists primarily of mineral deposits, which they absorb directly through their exoskeletons.

The Entangelets society is organized into communal collectives, with decisions made through a consensus-based system that can take years to reach. They possess a deep understanding of geological processes and have developed sophisticated methods for manipulating their environment, often over geological timescales. Their technology, if it can be called that, is organic and integrated with their natural biology, focused on sustainable resource management and planetary terraforming. They have no concept of warfare or individual ownership, prioritizing the collective well-being and the preservation of their homeworld. Encounters with other species are rare, as Entangelets generally remain within their subterranean habitats and have little interest in interstellar exploration. Their lifespan is measured in millennia, and their reproduction occurs through a slow budding process.
