[edit] Description

Azulian (Plural: Azulians, Possesive: Azulian)

Azulians are a sapient species of cephalopods much resembling Earth's Cuttlefish. An important differance between Azulians and Cuttlefish is the cartilage support structure that is present only in Azulians. Another important differance is the fact that Azulians have four eyes, two main eyes and two smaller eyes on stalks, much like those of a snail. Azulians also possess two articulate limbs on their undersides that have manipulators at their ends. They swim using four modified tentacles which have developed into fin like appendages.
