Name: Sepiida
Starting Spot: A mound of live rock encrusted with coralline algae and other marine life.
Description: A
cuttlefish-like mollusc. Their heads have eight small arms and two slightly longer tentacles that end in four tiny tendrils. The arms (but not the tentacles) have a single line of suckers going down them; however, all of the appendages originate from around the mouth. A webbing connects all of the appendages almost to the end. Two large eyes rest on the sides of their head and can swivel independently of the other. They have long bodies with skin that can change color, texture, and luminescence to match their environment or their moods. A Sepiida eats by stretching its arms out and engulfing its prey in the "net" formed by the webbing. The underside of the arms secretes a glue-like net that entangles its prey. It normally propels itself through the water using long lateral fins, but it can go much faster by tucking in its arms and shooting backwards using a jet of water from the siphon it uses to breathe. It can also release luminescent ink when in distress, but it can only do so once before it has to rest.
Background: These smalls are highly intelligent. Unfortunately, this works against them sometimes due to them all thinking that they know better than the others. They communicate with each other through lightning quick flashes of iridescence over their skin. (Will get around to writing more on this later, maybe... I don't really know where smalls came from and I don't want to make something up that would be contrary to anyone)
How will I have gotten there? The same ship or what? Perhaps my pod had a malfunction and didn't deploy until later, holding my smalls in stasis until they were released. Post? Post? Post? XD
