This page should help you with that.

As for the 'how it evolved' thing, thaaaaat's gonna be a bit harder to work out. Then again, we canonically have an alien made of Lego, so really anything goes.

If you're willing to stretch pretty hard for an explanation, then maybe its species evolved a physiology that lets them gain abilities from star patterns, sorta like how a computer gains functions from code.

Like I said, a pretty big stretch, but hey, Earth throws a buncha random crap like this at us, so why not?
