Line 32:
Basalites can live for centuries, with some individuals having been recorded to live as long as 300 years. This is due to the fact they can only age by means of erosion of their bodies, leading members of the species to avoid areas with high winds or running water. The species is known for keen intellects, believed by many to be linked to their very long lives.
Basalites do not possess anything resembling vocal cords, but are able to make grinding
Due to the lack of any other similar lifeforms on Oikia, many scientists believe that basalites are extraterrestrial in origin, possibly coming from the volcanic moon of the gas giant Tychia, or from Kafsi, the planet nearest to the systems star, though no conclusive proof of basalites on either world has been found. Others have suggested a potential interstellar origin. It is not known how they would have come to Oikia from these places.
