Octoman

The octomans are a species of sapient cephalopods from the planet Chaoterra. They were easily identified by their habit of walking on their "arms".

Description
Octomans were a highly intelligent species who were easily recognizable by their unique gait. As opposed to walking using all their tentacles, octomans moved using six of their tentacles, while their central tentacles were hung in the air and acted as arms. Octomans have very complex brains the size of ours, if not ours, unlike their ancestors which have nine brains, octomans have one, highly complex brain that is as smart as our brains. Octomans have pink skin with lighter shades of pink on the neck. It's "arms" are purple in color. They are 2.3 meters (7.5 feet) tall at maximum and weigh around 15 kilograms (33 pounds). Like their ancestors, octomans have suckers that could detach. These suckers could support 36 kilograms (79.3 pounds) and is useful when lifting something heavy.

Diet
Like us, octomans are omnivorous, and they also have food culture like us. The list below shows a variety of food octomans feed on.


 * Shri' lop - A burger-like food that has scallop shells instead of buns and shrimps instead of patties.
 * Ci- bban - The chaoterran equivalent of a hot dog that has fish meat in the middle and abalone insides as buns.
 * Tresque - An expensive chaoterran equivalent of a turducken, but instead, it consists out of small shark species, fish, and small marine magnasaurs.
 * Zalmoct - A bread-like food made out of abalone insides as buns and fruits/meats, etc.
 * Civiper honey - A honey-like food made out of nectar extracts from Civiper fecal matters.
 * Chao' ken - A chicken-like food made out of chaoterran's equivelant of chicken, the sauramphastid.
 * Bo- rasb - A beef-like food made out of boarusa meat, it is highly nutritious.
 * Gori-qua - A seafood made out of spotted eel meat that is very sweet.

Behaviour
Octomans have various jobs due to their intelligence. Those that have heavily armored suits are working to defend their country from intruders of the same species. Those that have various types of tools are usually miners who dig to search for currency. Like us, octomans also work in offices and build buildings. Octomans also domesticate animals for food or for comfort.

Weaponry
The octomans are very advanced, even compared to humans. They also have highly advanced weaponry to fight against other octomans, for currency, dominance, or politics. One of their most powerful military weapons is the Octopode, a giant mecha that is slightly similar to a regular octoman, and it is 10 times stronger than a oct' ank (shown above). Most of their weaponry are electric-powered, since Chaoterra has far more fossil fuels than on earth. The octopode, despite being 50 meters tall, can move at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour (43.5 miles per hour), thanks to the advanced technology of the octomans.

Interaction with Humans
Octomans have been known to interact with humans. One time the GBE visited their planet, the octomans welcome them by peace, they also work together in the Basonian war on XD54. To wipe out the rebels in XD54 who want to get independence from Britain. Octomans are highly social, and since interaction with humans they have been reported to speak english and other earthly languages like french, german and chinese. They also have been known to eat earthly food and domesticated chickens and cows from earth. Humans taught them to farm, build spaceships, factories and weapons

Distribution
Octomans were descended from an unspecified species of octopus that came to land and gained more intelligence as a result. Like octopus, they are excellent swimmers, and because of this, they are able to colonize Chaoterra in just a few thousand years. They live in nearly all continents of Chaoterra except for Umos, those that live in Umos usually have jackets suited for the cold.
