Lichtruto

Lichtruto are ubiquitous family of plantlike Botah that exists nearly everywhere on Arkos in one form or another. Like most vegetative Botah, they possess a Taschuchu that allows them to store vast amounts of energy. Despite this ability, the Lichtruto closest to the surface of Arkos cannot convert all the energy they absorb into their pocket dimensions. The excess energy is converted to various forms of radiation; mostly white light. The largest populations of Lichtruto exist near Arkos's surface where solar and quasar radiation are at there greatest. Since most of life on Arkos exists beneath layers of Botah strata, this ability of Lichtruto to absorb and transmit light ends up serving as a safe source of illumination. Many carnivorous species of Lichtruto also use their light producing organs to attract prey.

Aside from their integral role in the ecology of Arkos, Lichtruto also were the basis for developing Taschuchu into Sita. Discovered and advanced by Dr. Shea Rogamma, Taschuchu extracted and incorporated into Sita allowed for the organ to store its own reserves of energy as well as use that energy to control increasingly more complex species of Botah. This advancement would revolutionize how Arkosian's develop and use technology based on the Botah collective.
