Species name: cuttlean
Alternate name: common cuttlean
Evolved from: common cuttlefish
Recently scientists working at Inkopolis University have unveiled a startling discovery! Squids and octopuses were not the only mollusks from the pre-seakind era to evolve - cuttlefish and nautiluses also worked their way onto land. As you all know, there are many species of inklings and octolings that live in and around Inkopolis. As it turns out, the same holds true for the cuttleans and nautilids.
A common cuttlean, or cuttlean for short, have thin tentacles that do not have any noticeable suckers or suction cups. They can come in many colors, but most appear to naturally hatch in a muted tan. It appears that in cuttlean culture a great ceremony takes place when a cuttlean gains full control over their humanoid form. During this time, they choose a new color to adopt for themselves and henceforth use it as their natural color.
The eyemask of all cuttleans looks similar to that of an inkling. The bridge of black that connects the two eyes is much thinner, as opposed to the thicker one that inklings have. Small wings also come off the top outer corners of a cuttlean's eyemask. Their ears are more similar to an octolings, with a slightly more noticeable point. A cuttlean's pupils are vaguely shaped like the human letter "w". It is theorized that this adaptation allowed them to see better while swimming in ink.
The following members of society are cuttleans:
