Species name: flamboyant cuttlean

Evolved from: Pfeffer's flamboyant cuttlefish

If there was a prize for the most colorful seakind out there, then the flamboyant cuttleans would win it. Their tentacles are broader and more oval shaped than other cuttleans, and are naturally dyed a deep red. The ends are edged with other colors, such as yellow, blue, bright red, and hot pink. Their frame is not as thin as other cuttleans due to a larger muscle structure beneath their skin. 


Their pre-evolved form appeared to have a smaller cuttlebone than other species of cuttlefish, rendering it an awkward swimmer. It appears that the animal combated this evolutionary disadvantage by learning how to walk along the ocean floor using their tentacles. The same holds true for flamboyant cuttleans. In ink they are slow, much slower than even the larger seakind. Outside of the ink in humanoid form, however, they are extremely quick.
