an alien species I made

Biology:

They are from the planet Defan a small planet with a thick atmosphere full of toxins orbiting around a red dwarf their sight is similar to that of humans but their color perception is shifted towards the infrared meaning they cannot see blue and to themselves they look a dark red their skin is very reflective to high energy light to protect them from their flare star sun they are resistant to most toxins and their most notable difference is that they have three bumps on the top of their head instead of ears these organs are much more complex and let them a much wider range of sounds than humans and pinpoint where a sound is coming from useful in Defan's long nights they are skinnier than humans with far less muscle due to defats lower gravity and like organisms in extreme environments on earth they regenerate relatively fast and have very long lifespans

Culture and technology:

due to the capability of there "ears" their culture revolves around music which is how they discovered complex math the relationship between math and music meant that mathematics and science evolved faster than on earth they have colonies on worlds around other stars and one of the most famous programs is the Defini exploration and diplomacy program tasked with finding new worlds ready for colonization and were other intelligent species already live make peace with them and begin trade with them on worlds farther away from Defini space or that have very militaristic natives only a few or even one explorer is sent
