tgörgs

Tgörgs is a fictional creature from the speculative biology project "Alien Worlds," created by artist and writer Douglas Adams. In the context of "Alien Worlds," Tgörgs are described as silicon-based lifeforms indigenous to the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their crystalline structure, which allows them to absorb and process energy directly from their environment, often through a form of phototropism.

The appearance of Tgörgs is often depicted as multifaceted and angular, with a slow, deliberate movement. Their physiology is fundamentally different from carbon-based life, leading to unique biological processes and sensory perceptions. It is suggested that Tgörgs communicate through resonant vibrations within their crystalline bodies, a method of interaction that is alien to most organic life.

While the concept of Tgörgs exists within a fictional framework, it serves as an example of exploring alternative biochemistries and life cycles. The "Alien Worlds" project, and by extension the Tgörgs, aims to stimulate imagination about the possibilities of extraterrestrial life beyond Earth-centric assumptions. Their existence is purely within the realm of speculative fiction and scientific imagination.
