Glowmins are a small bug like open species! They are herbivorous, and glow! Making them a huge help to underground explorers.
Glowmins are usually found in caves or in dense jungles! They usually come out during the night, communicating with each other with their glowy antennae!
Before the creatures of Netherium came to the surface. The moon deity have showered some spec of moon fragments around the huge garden of Nagaria Empire to create companions for their faes and nymphs. The flowers in the garden glowed as they touch the moon fragments, soon these flowers was granted a new life. A little bug like creature, as a nymph in the garden got curious, she approached this little creature, carefully picked it up and there she heard the Moon Deity.
"This little creature shall be your eternal companion. Immortal by nature, it is designed to reflect your desires, adapting to match your preferences with loyalty"
They were originally intended to be their companions, but many fae and nymphs have begun to doubt the notion of existing just to serve others since the Moon Deity vanished. As time went on, glowmins began to develop own personalities and styles that deviated from their nymphs or faes. Although some of them stayed to their traditional purpose.
In modern times, the garden of Nagaria Empire has become a city in Asorium named 'Glowmin city' to show that the city used to be the birth place of Glowmins. Although the species don't feel like they deserve their name to be known, anyone from the past who used to own them as companions thinks otherwise.
They are required to have a antennas, same colours for glowing areas and segmented tail They are not allowed to have any traits that represents holiness such as angel/feathered wings, halo, etc.

Glowmins lives long as their life is connected to the one they're connected with however Glowmins that doesn't have any connections can only live up to 30 years.
They are typically mysterious and playful, loving to pull harmless pranks such as 'spiking' a pastry with a temporarily 'filter potion' which will give the user a filter vision (Seeing things black and white, hearts around a person, etc). They're basically like children in a way.
Glowmin mainly eats Moon shard nectars or Stardrop moss that comes from the tree in the middle of Glowmin city. They also eat pastries specifically sweet pastries.
In the past, they can only communicate with the bioluminescence on their body. They can convey feelings, intents, and warnings by changing the colors and patterns of their bioluminescence, pulsating, or fading. For instance:
Soft, constant glow: serene and amiable.
Fast pulses: Danger or urgency.
Color shifts: Certain colors stand for particular feelings, such as green for curiosity or blue for melancholy.
