vorices

Vorices are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which allows them to communicate through complex patterns of light. Vorices have a quadrupedal stance and possess large, multifaceted eyes that grant them exceptional low-light vision. Their diet consists primarily of Xylosian fungi, which they harvest using prehensile tendrils extending from their forelimbs.

The society of Vorices is deeply communal, with individuals forming close-knit family units called "lumina." They are known for their advanced understanding of bio-engineering, having developed sophisticated methods for manipulating organic matter. This expertise has led to the creation of living structures and tools, seamlessly integrated into their environment. Vorices are generally peaceful and have a strong philosophical tradition centered on the interconnectedness of all life.

Their technology relies heavily on biological processes rather than mechanical ones. They are capable of interstellar travel, utilizing bio-engineered spacecraft that harness stellar energy. Encounters with other species have been rare, but historical records indicate a cautious but non-hostile disposition towards outsiders. Their primary mode of conflict resolution is through elaborate light-based dialogues, aiming for consensus and understanding. The Vorices' unique biology and culture have made them a subject of interest in various xeno-biological studies.
