hýdor

Hýdor is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. These beings are known for their bioluminescent skin and their unique ability to communicate through rhythmic light pulses. Physically, hýdor are tall and slender, with four prehensile limbs and large, multifaceted eyes that can perceive a wider spectrum of light than most known species. Their natural habitat is the dense, phosphorescent jungles of Xylos, where their bioluminescence serves as a means of camouflage and social signaling.

The hýdor society is structured around communal living and a deep respect for their environment. They possess a highly advanced understanding of bio-engineering, which they utilize to cultivate their food sources and manage their ecosystem. Their technology is largely organic, integrating seamlessly with the natural world. Hýdor culture emphasizes harmony and cooperation, with disputes typically resolved through collective deliberation and consensus. They are known to be peaceful and introspective, with a rich tradition of oral history and philosophical thought. Encounters with other species have been rare, but those who have met hýdor describe them as intelligent and profoundly serene.
