This is a Buirel ("byoo-rel"):
Buirel are telepathic cave-dwellers who use the crystals on their body to amplify their "voice". They willing give crystals of theirs away to their closest friends so that they can communicate with them no matter the distance. However, if all of their crystals were stolen, they would be forever rendered mute to those around them!
