Amychts

Amychts (Collectively: Amychta) are a sentient fungal species that dominate the administration of Rēsahlic Hollow Space. Their population of approximately 2.79 billion are located almost entirely within the Hollow Realm, with 2.73 billion living just on the planet of Lērych. The origins of the Amychta is especially unique, having originally been created by the Kaevik Hyper-Accelerated evolution process, being the only presently surviving result of such due to the Kaevik Process being lost due to the near eradication of the Ulktik species following the Four Months' War. This process was utilized to formulate a parasitic bioweapon as a weapon of war, pushing the fungal species to target the flora of a planet, parasitically leeching off the plantlife in order to gain the energy required to reproduce so that their offspring may continue to spread, artificially creating a falling apart of the planet's food chain by 'nipping it in the bud.' With the absence of plants causing the starving out of herbivores and increasing scarcity of food for omnivores, a knock-on effect occurs as carnivorous life forms begin to suffer from the caused scarcity by virtue of the proportionality of their food. Following this process, the Amychta were intended to overpopulate by virtue of the rapid absorption of energy via decomposition of animals, transforming the target planet into what became known as a 'grave planet'. During the Four Months' War, this occurred to 7 of the 8 inhabited celestial bodies in what is now Rēsahl. The continued survival of the species in Lērych occurred only due to the mental developments of the Amychta, leading to the formation of the Consolidated State Mandate of the Hollow Realm, a compendium of laws and regulations, designed by an Amycht who became known as the Vox Inanis, to limit the environmental devastation that the species was originally intended to cause.

Biology
Amychta are a species of fungi which form a tripedal structure from their fruiting bodies, bearing three stipes, each containing a joint-like structure contained inside, which are used for mobility. Amychta are generally short, ranging from 3.7 to 5.8 units tall once they reach a 'fully grown' state. This is mostly due to self-limitation however, as the remains of Amychta found on grave planets proved to have grown up to twenty times that amount. Such growth came with a cost of mobility however, with those found to be that size having had their stipes crushed under their increased mass, usually resulting in death after any life in their general area was stripped of energy to absorb. Amychta move about via the transference of weight between their two frontal stipes and their singular hind stipe, in a rare occurrence of tripedal locomotion that can be considered as natural.

The respiratory system of Amychta are complex, having adapted to the high concentration of dust in the air of Lērych, containing two natural particulate air filters to trap impurities which the Amycht expels through a specialized orifice fit for that purpose, discharging a viscous and aqueous solution that varies in colour based upon the impurities caught in the Amycht's filters,
