Basalites: Difference between revisions

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 ~~and groaning~~ sounds through movements of their rocky bodies, which have developed into a handful of languages. However, for communication with non-basalites, they prefer writing, as it can be nigh-impossible for other species to properly differentiate or reproduce these sounds.

Basalites do not possess anything resembling vocal cords, but are able to make grinding sounds through movements of their rocky bodies, and groaning sounds by passing air through cavities inside themselves, which have developed into a handful of languages. However, for communication with non-basalites, they prefer writing, as it can be nigh-impossible for other species to properly differentiate or reproduce these sounds.

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.
