krilt

krilt is a fictional term that appears in the context of speculative fiction and role-playing games. It typically refers to a small, bioluminescent creature native to alien worlds. These creatures are often described as having a soft, gelatinous body and multiple small, fin-like appendages that allow them to navigate their environment. Their bioluminescence is a key characteristic, used for communication, attracting prey, or as a defense mechanism.

In various fictional narratives, krilt are sometimes depicted as harmless fauna, contributing to the ecosystem of their homeworld. Other times, they can be a nuisance or even a minor threat, especially when encountered in large swarms. Their diet often consists of microscopic organisms or algae found in their watery or humid habitats. The specific details of krilt vary greatly depending on the individual work of fiction in which they are featured, with authors and game designers adapting the concept to suit their narrative needs. They are not a real biological species but a creation of imagination.
