lucifugous
Lucifugous refers to someone or something that avoids or shuns light, particularly sunlight. It is typically used in the context of certain species or organisms which are considered nocturnal or adapted to dark environments. Derived from Latin, "luci" means light, and "fugous" means fleeing or avoiding, hence "lucifugous" means "light-fleeing".
