flowchens

Flowchens are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their bioluminescent qualities and a unique method of communication through pulsating light patterns. Physically, flowchens are roughly humanoid in shape, standing between five and six feet tall, with smooth, translucent skin that allows their internal organs to be faintly visible. Their eyes are large and multifaceted, capable of perceiving a wider spectrum of light than humans.

The social structure of flowchens is communal, with individuals often forming close-knit groups that share resources and knowledge. They do not possess a spoken language in the human sense; instead, their primary form of interaction relies on complex sequences of light emissions, varying in color, intensity, and duration. This light-based communication conveys emotions, information, and abstract concepts.

Flowchens are known for their peaceful nature and their deep connection to their environment. They subsist on a diet of bio-luminescent fungi and nutrient-rich mosses found in the subterranean caverns of Xylos. Their technology, while advanced, is organic and integrated with their natural surroundings, often utilizing bio-engineered structures and energy sources. They are generally reclusive and have had limited contact with other galactic civilizations, preferring to observe from a distance. Their understanding of the universe is largely philosophical and contemplative, focusing on the interconnectedness of all living things.
