Species abilities
Lithians have different types of abilities, their horn type determines their abilities, most lythians only have one ability because having multiple can cause problems.
Lithians use their horns to channel their energy and to manifest it into the physical world. Young lithians have a harder time to control their abilities due to the smaller size of horns. Broken horns can be very problematic to lithians as this can cause a major imbalance, so usually when their horns are damaged they avoid using their powers to prevent causing harm to themselves and others around them. Luckily they have great healing ability so they will grow back, but it will take a long time.
Life cycle
Lithians do not reproduce sexually, and instead they use a genetically modified plant to do the gestation of their offsprings for them. As a result, lithians no longer have reproductive systems. To make an offspring a sample of DNA is needed to make a new lithian which is then after some lab stuff they put the stuff in the plant where there a new lithian will be created.
Lithians need a very long time to mature due to their immense complexity but once they have fully matured they are practically immortal, but they can still be killed of course… When a lithyan has been gravely wounded, they can be put inside the plant used to create them to regenerate their bodies.
Being chronically exposed to large amounts of radiation can cause lithian to go through a process similar to aging, as seen in elderly organisms. Radiation overwhelms their ability to regenerate to the point where the effects are irreversible, the only way to reverse this is by being put inside the plant that is used in order to repair their bodies.
Diet and nutrition
Lithyans are omnivores. Their food preference depends on what is available.
