Aquatic Species

An aquatic species similar to that of a turtle and a squid.

Large dome shaped shell, similar to a turtle. And long tentacle like appendages used for anchoring and manipulating objects.

Distinctive features include moderate sized holes in the shell in which the the species breaths. Nozzles direct the water when exhaling and provides propulsion. Coral like structures and species colonize the shell taking advantage of the increased water movement and close proximity to the surface. The excrement of the corals is carried away by the “breathing of the host species. This excrement is then filtered off and then consumed. Additional diet includes anything it can catch with it’s tentacles, but since it’s slow that isn’t much, but it can ambush a little. As well as a beak for crunching and consuming corals or other vegetation. Species is quite large, measuring 50 meters for the shell when full grown. Young are laid in sandy locations underwater and are then buried. The mound is then guarded by the female. Once hatched the parents don’t exactly care for their young however the young take shelter in the coral growths of adults, usually their mother.

Species can be either Intelligent/Non-Sentient or Intelligent/Sentient-PreFire

Slave or exploited species of the Gax Imperium.
