lyjäquotels

Ljäquotels are a hypothetical species originating from the planet Xylos, a tidally locked world orbiting a dim red dwarf star. Their biology is adapted to extreme conditions, characterized by thick, leathery skin to withstand high radiation levels and a unique respiratory system that efficiently extracts oxygen from Xylos's thin, methane-rich atmosphere. Ljäquotels possess a complex societal structure, organized into nomadic clans that traverse the planet's twilight zone, the region between perpetual day and night. Their primary mode of communication is through a series of clicks and whistles, augmented by subtle shifts in skin coloration. Technological development among the Ljäquotels is focused on survival and resource management, with an emphasis on bio-engineering and understanding the planet's unique flora and fauna. Their diet consists mainly of subterranean fungi and hardy, silicon-based plant life. Little is known about their philosophical or artistic pursuits, as interactions with off-world civilizations have been minimal and largely observational. The Ljäquotels are believed to be a long-lived species, with lifespans potentially spanning several Xylosian centuries.
