The Glythar are a distinct extraterrestrial species native to swampy planets, characterized by mineral-rich oceans and high temperatures. Their bodies are robust yet soft, covered by a translucent, gelatinous membrane beneath which a complex network of golden- and copper-hued organic tissue is visible.

Their skin has a texture reminiscent of reptile scales, yet it is elastic and possesses a faint, luminous quality. They have relatively small eyes, a rounded snout, and short but remarkably resilient limbs.

Generally docile and sociable, these creatures possess a highly efficient metabolism that allows them to store large quantities of energy and nutrients.
