Squillacci

The Squillacci are a race of squid-like tentacled aliens

Biology
The Squillacci are an aquatic race, requiring the need for exo-suits to operate in other environments. They resemble squids, with eight tentacles.

History
The Squillacci are an aggressive race of aliens that have attempted to conquer Earth. Though their attempts to conquer the Earth have been repeatedly thwarted by the Big Guy. It is later revealed that, if not for the Big Guy, the Squillacci Empire would have ruled the earth.

Alternate Timeline
In the alternate timeline where the Big Guy did not exist, the Squillacci had conquered Earth.

On this Earth they have forced the humans into servitude, making them wear work collars that enslave them. In addition they have made it illegal for humans to possess certain technologies in fear of rebelling, such as automatons and unregistered transports.

They once tried to conquer Earth during the Revolutionary War but were thwarted by Big Guy and Rusty. The battle was responsible for the crack in the Liberty Bell.

Culture
Not much is known about Squillacci, only that during their constant visits and incursions to Earth they make crop circles, attempt to experiment on cows and other stereotypical alien actions.

Government
The Squillacci are part of a nation called the Grand Squillacci Empire, though its political structure is not touched upon in the Big Guy and Rusty series.

Technology
The Squillacci possess spaceflight and laser technology, in addition their architecture is reminiscent of their physiology, large glass bulbous constructions connected through a series of transport tubes, that allow for rapid transport though zero-gravity. In addition, after stealing an American time travel transport they managed to replicate the technology.
