Elastoos

Elastoos, Gene Clone Slaves without a boney skeleton based on Terran octopus and human DNA.

Creation
Designed and patented by Enroe Industries, they were meant for working in aquatic environments, such as the continental shelves of Earth’s oceans.

Description
Although generally humanoid, Elastoos have a somewhat obese, streamlined, hairless look. This is due to a blubber-like layer of fat under their skin. Technically, Elastoos do have an endoskeleton that is entirely cartilaginous lending the appearance of bonelessness.

Like most octopi, Elastoos have a rubbery, translucent grayish skin. They also have auxiliary gills, based upon the octopus rather than fish.

History
 In 2111, Enroe Industries sued DeNoir Industries for patent infringement. Enroe patented the Elastoos, while DeNoir introduced the Rubbers, Gene Clone Slaves of virtually the same design (just smaller). The United Earth Court decided in favor of DeNoir citing that DeNoir used a different type of octopus (one found on Ulta) and that Enroe patented the DNA pattern and not the form or looks of the result.

 Bill Horton of Enroe declared Enroe an “Independent Company” no longer associated with Earth and its Headquarters on Asteroid Vesta, also no longer subject to any Earth Laws. He also declared the No Hold Barred Business style. Enroe Corporate Mercenaries raided the Toyo-Shubi headquarters in Tokyo and killed sixty one people. (That it was Enroe was not known at that time) Enroe spaceships also attacked DeNoir Labs on Venus and destroyed two DeNoir freighters on their way to Mars. DeNoir openly declared war against Enroe Industries, kicking off the Corporate Bio Wars.
