Charips are an order of bacteria that exists exclusively in the Caverns of Dawn.

Description

All types of Charips are bioluminescent and emit a faint glow, which provides the only source of light in the ecosystem. Still, the Caverns are very dark.

Most Charips are lithotrophs, although a rare few subsist on organic matter.

The Charips form the basis for the Caverns ecosystem, as most forms of life feed on these bacteria.
