Ergan

Ergans are a species of small creatures with plant-like tendrils covering their body native to the planet Romanos, in the Ilendi System. They do not eat, instead taking energy from the sun using a modified form of photosynthesis. They are rarely seen across the Draco Perseus Galaxy, preferring their comfortable planet over the difficulties of living elsewhere.

Biology
Ergans are covered with tendrils that collect sunlight from their surroundings. They produce energy through photosynthesis, causing them to move slowly in order to take in the most energy. They breath carbon dioxide, which is the major component in their native planet, Romanos. Due to this, any travel to other planets without a correct concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere requires them to wear respirators that constantly feed them carbon dioxide.
