Sarsith

The Sarsith are a sapient amphibious species from planet Sarsithia, located in the star cluster M-21.

Biology
Sarsith are Human-sized, brown-skinned, mollusk-like bipeds. They have a pair of arms ending in five-fingered hands and another pair of long tentacles protruding from their upper backs. Their faces are dominated by a pair of enormous eyes with white sclerae. Their diet is unknown, but seems to include bread.

Culture and society
Sarsith evolved as amphibious creatures and still enjoy being submerged in water. Meetings of the Ruling Council of Sarsithia invariably take place in water, and it is expected even of alien diplomats to bathe in the Sarsithian pools while discussing politics.
