Zyn

The Zyn are a species of carnivorous hexapods with seven eyes on the sides of their head. They have the unique ability of telepathy with other members of their species. The majority of the species treat the gas giant that their home moons orbit around, Hox, as a god-like entity, and many are in the Children of Hox.

Biology
The Zyn have a set of five legs due to high gravity on Hox's moons, as well as a pair of arms on their torso. Their bodies are covered with a resilient exoskeleton, with slits on the sides of the head opening for seven eyes on each side. The top of the head is covered with a transparent exoskeletal coating, through which the brain can be seen.

They have a unique ability of telepathy with their fellow Zyn. Due to all communication being done through telepathy, the Zyn never evolved a verbal language, and thus they have no vocal cords. This has lead to any communication with other species relying on technology.

Culture
Nearly all of the Zyn, across all the moons of Hox, follow the same religion, the Children of Hox. They believe that their natural ability of telepathy comes from Hox, who they believe to be a god. Much of their culture is devoted to the gas giant, as well as their architecture.

They have little drive for exploration outside of the moons of Hox, however due to contact with many other space faring species, they do have their own sort of space ships, modelled after Hox. Using this technology, many members of the species go on missionary expeditions to other planets such as Titanus, trying to spread the word of what they believe is a god.
