littömät

Littömät are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a silicon-based lifeform, characterized by their crystalline structures and slow metabolic processes. Littömät communicate through a series of resonant frequencies emitted from their crystalline bodies, a form of sonic telepathy that is difficult for other species to perceive or interpret. Their life cycle is exceptionally long, spanning several Xylosian millennia, and they reproduce asexually through a process of budding, where small crystalline fragments detach and grow into independent individuals.

The Littömät society is highly communal and deeply integrated with the geological and atmospheric conditions of Xylos. They are known for their passive nature and have no known history of aggression or conflict. Their primary focus is on the slow, deliberate exploration and understanding of their environment, often spending centuries observing geological formations or atmospheric shifts. Due to their silicon-based biology, they are highly resistant to extreme temperatures and radiation, thriving in environments that would be lethal to carbon-based life. Their existence poses a unique challenge to xenobiologists due to their fundamentally different biological and communication systems.
