Guardians are completely made of slime. That slime is very densly consentrated which allows them to shapeshift into forms bigger than they normally appear. This is also what gives them super strength. The outer black layer of skin they have is a very resilient membrane that protected guardians from extreme temperatures. All guardians have a network of crystals that are called the power crystals. They serve as a "core" that houses the part that makes them counsious. A severed guardian limb that has a power crystal can turn into a mini guardian.
Power crystals are the brains of the guardians. These power cores are connected to a very thin crystal network within their bodies that rearrange themselves when a guardian shapeshifts.
Eyes
Hands
Lythyans have a unique nervous system that is linked to their biological powers. The connections are stronger in their brain, spine, horns, and tail. The connections are strongest in the hands, feet, and horns, which makes it easy for them to transfer and externalise their powers. Damage to the horns can be very painful because they have a lot of nerves and blood flow going to them. Luckily, as Lythyans learn to control their powers, they can also learn to control their nervous systems and turn off pain.
Because their abilities are so important to them, their nervous system is designed to fix itself at all costs. This means that permanent nerve damage is very unlikely to happen.
Lepidian guardians have internal bodly function which are entirely superficial in nature, by that i mean that they can choose to dismantle them at any time they want and they can live without them.
The great guardian on their home world is the one who creates all guardians. Juvenile guardians are tiny and far weaker than their adult counterparts, and they hatch from eggs. Similar to caterpillars, the juvenile guardian at this stage tries to consume food that is as high in energy as possible. Upon reaching their limit, they enter a cave where they undergo a 20-year metamorphosis. Upon completion, the guardian emerges from the cocoon as a fully grown adult guardian.
Guardians can eat litteraly anything. There is no limit, well exept for things like molten rock of cource...
Homeworld
There are currently six recognized varieties of Lepidian Guardians. Each variety is designed to fulfill a specific purpose, thus some may be more suited to particular jobs than others.
Blue guardians are the most common subtype you may encounter. They are often reffered to as the explorer guardian. Blue guardians enjoy traveling through space in search of new planets to discover. They are the most trusting and devoted subtype of guardian, and they like interacting with all types of species.
Green guardians are the second most prevalent guardians. Green guardians stand significantly taller than blue guardians in their neutral form. They are better at conducting electricity than other kinds and have a strong interest in electronics and technology. They can also store massive amounts of electric power within themselves. Green guardians are known as mechanic guardians. They are commonly found working as mechanics in a variety of civilizations.
Yellow guardians are uncommon, and for good reason: they are the most aggressive subtype. They have a generally grumpy demeanor, they need to do dayly activities to spend off exes energy or else they will become very irritable and then might start destroying things. Despite being the shortest subtype, they're the strongest one. Yellow guardians are regarded as the fighter subtype because that is one of their specialties; they are also excellent at terraforming terrain due to their strength.
Orange guardians are extremely rare on the surface but fairly common in bodies of water, as they are an aquatic subtype. Even though they may survive on land, they prefer to stay underwater unless there is an important reason to leave. Orange guardians are very curious and enjoy hoarding large collections in their caverns. An orange guardians individual arms are weaker compared to other subtypes, and they have the fewest power crystals, making them the weakest of all guardian subtypes. Despite this, they are extremely adept at discovering and organising specific materials, which is why they are known as the cleaner guardians.
The pink guardian is the quickest of the guardians, with a running speed of up to 350 kilometers per hour. Their palms have exposed slime instead of a power crystal, allowing them to use their hands to halt in a moment. Pink guardians are very energetic and enjoy seeking out exciting and interesting events; they do not stay in one place for too long and travel to many locations in a single day; this allows them to know a lot of information, which they share when necessary, which is why they are known as the messenger guardians. In comparison to other subjects, they have less power crystals, making them slightly weaker. But even so, they are the fastest subtype. Pink guardians are sometimes referred to as "the female guardians" even though the entire species are genderless.
Purple guardians are a newly discovered subtype. Like the pink guardians, they are focused about speed, but unlike them, they can fly. The main reason it took so long to discover them is that they frequently take on the appearance of spaceships to carry vast amounts of goods, which is why they are now known as transporter guardians. Purple guardians are bad in socialising, but they are great at following commands, which is why they prioritize their work over social interaction.
Great guardian, mother of all guardians lives within their homeworld but has never been seen by anyone exept for the guardians themselves of course.
THe homeworld othe lepidian guardians. Its location is completely unknown by all aliens exept for the guardians themselves. Part of the planets's surface and its moon have been severly damaged due to a catastrophic event that happend bilions of years ago when the great guardian first found this planet. The planets has muiltiple rings that suround it. The rings are made out of debrits from the incident but now it is also used by the guardians to place material they have gatterd from all over the universe to rebuild their homeworld.

Guardians have a social structure similar to ants since they are essentially a hivemind. Every guardian is a "worker" who has to fulfill the tasks they were made for. Each subtype has a different task. Guardians tend to serve others and usually avoid positions of leadership unless they are ordered to. Each guardian colony has a mini great guardian, which they follow orders from. Those mini great guardians are often affiliated with the nearby civilization they inhabit, so even the guardian leaders have leaders of their own. All guardians are collectively serving under the rule of the mother guardian, which is located on their homeworld. Even though guardians can become allies with literally anyone, they can break that relationship if the ones they serve go against some fundamental orders of the mother guardian; for example, committing mass genocide or wars will make guardians leave.
Civilised Guardians are those who have been raised to think and behave like other species who live in a social civilisation. Civilised guardians have a reduced colective mindset and are a lot more individualistic. They are a lot less socially akward thhanks to their ability to conform to social norms. Decpite being more individualistic they still have a conection to th mother guardan, the only way to fully sever this bond is by completely rewriting their power crystal with a very powerful enegy. .
Guardians communicate with each other by emiting very high frequency sounds in a language somewhat similar to morse code. These frequencies are so high that no one can hear them, however there are some machines that have been created in order to pick these up. Guardians can also communicate vocally although their vocal cords are very strange whish makes them difficult to understand. Guardians who live close with other sivilised beings can learn to shape their vocals to be better adapted at communication.
All guardians have been sent to space with one purpose, and that is to protect and preserve everything they find. They often acomplich this by becoming the protector of ecosystem or to come in aid to sertain civilisations to help expand their teritories.
Many Guardians view their outer "skin" as a suit which protects their slime interior which is why many guardians choose not to wear clothing or accesories. The exeption to this is that Guardians who live in a society with other civilised individuals might start wearing clothing and accesories that are given to them. In some cases they might even add items in in their slime or paint their exterior shell. Generally speaking guardians who belong to a sertain civilisation wil all start to take a specific appearance.
Guardians have no known specific way of expressing themselves. They usually copy the artistic expression of the organisms who live around them.
Guardians have a lot of allies thanks to their freindly nature and their genneral usefullnes, they dend to have a positive influence on civilisation
Guardians have no known enemies as waging wars against them is completely pointless due to the sheer number of them that exist in the entire universe. Guardians dont really mind this so they ussually leave those who dislike them alone. Guardians will only attack if the thing they are protecting is in danger or if they have been provoced in a really bad way.

Lepidian guardians where originally made in 2016. Back then they were actually man made robots that could shapeshift with the use of slime. A single guardian could split into four smaller guardians=. Eventually i didnt really do much with them because back then i dint really like one eyed characters.
That was until in 2017 when i was conceptualising Lizzie's universe with my sister i decided to bring them back since their colors were similar to pulsar stars. They became machines that were built by the star beings. Wandering aimlessly on the remains of the star planet together with the tentacils, which also used to be robots back then. I dont lnow when it happend but i eventualy decided to retcon the idea that they are robots, instead they are organic beings, i did the same with the tentacils.
When i made the Cores i decided that the guardians are a hivemind like species, that were made by a giant being called The Great Guardian.
