If you're about to meet a Lektayosh and have 30 seconds: The organism in front of you is a worm-like amphibian with dozens of electrosensitive tendrils emerging radially from thick rings along their second, eleventh, and seventeenth segments. Its twenty-third segment is elongated into a narrow tail formed of thinner tendrils that twine together. Its foremost segment has a large mouth with narrow spines adapted for leeching nutrients through thick bark or blubbery exoskeletons. They are optimized to directly feed on electrical currents, which the plant life of their homeworld generates through water splitting photosynthesis.
Its tendrils are capped with tiny claws capable of delivering small piezoelectric shocks, which they use to communicate, either through direct stimulation, or sending and receiving signals through a conductive medium.
These adaptations, among others, made them naturally suited to an electrically networked existence, in which the body attaches to a series of wires and is both fed and can communicate through the grid. Your Pinto can send and receive signals along Lektayosh networks.
