Cephalopodoid

A Cephalopodoid is the typoid classification of creatures exhibiting characteristics similar to Terran cephalopods, Octopuses, and related aquatic creatures.

Description (Specifications)

Octopuses, squids, and nautiluses are the best known members of this species on Terra. Squid and octopi have internal shells, while that of the nautilus is external. An overlapping term is Molluscoid

A Cephalopodoid is distinguished by a number of characteristics:

• It is poikilothermic (its internal temperature matches its surroundings).
• It is made up of a body, a head and a foot.
• It has a ring of arms or tentacles, formed from the foot, that surrounds the head.
• It has a shell, either internal or external.
• It has a chitinous or bony beak.
• They are more likely to be radially symmetrical.
• They are aquatic swimmers or divers.
