Pheromones

Pheromones are chemical cues emitted by Bibites into their surroundings. These pheromones can be detected and flare input neurons stub, which connect to other neurons via synapses stub.

Pheromones are inherently social, and are mostly useless when a Bibite is isolated or anti-social in nature. Although it has been observed that some Bibites evolve to use pheromones as a tool for Autocrine Signaling, which proved to be a common evolutionary pathway for the use of pheromones in a social context.

Another viable reason why an isolated Bibite population might use pheromones outside of social communication is perhaps to trick predators into running away from a perceived "threat" (which is only the Bibite releasing the pheromone in defense). this behavior is known as Pheromone trickery.

Pheromones exist in 3 colors (channels): Red, Green, and Blue.
