The first extraterrestrial sapients encountered by ponies, the Silis are a semi-eusocial race native to Silinar.

Not only are their telepathic and psychokinetic abilities superior, they're also much stronger and faster physically than their outwardly frail bodies suggest; a three ft. individual can easily drag a 6 ft. grown stallion. Their bodies are also highly flexible, suggest a different composition of their skeletons. They do make a clicking noise akin to what dolphins create, but they usually speak telepathically. The Silis vary in colors ranging from brown to cobalt blue and even translucent. Their color depends on when they've last feed. Though they have no visible genitals, they do have male and female personalities.

Their social structure appears to be a caste/hierarchy system based on height. An interesting fact is that the number of fingers an individual has increased with the height (from 3-5). The 3ft (3 fingered) individuals are usually workers and are occasionally seen with cybernetic implants. The 4-5ft (four fingered) Silis are the handlers, often the ones dealing with other sapients. the 6-7ft (five fingered) ones are commanders.

8ft and taller are even higher command with the highest appearing to be what can be best described as a queen.
