Octalian

Octalian are sapient species of extraterrestrial cephalopods native to planet Octalia in Milky Way Galaxy.

Physical description
Octalians have the appearance of humanoid octopuses. The species has four upper tentacles that function much like Human arms. Likewise, their lower tentacles function similar to Human legs. The back of their heads extend into a large, bulbous mantle, and there is a small siphon-like funnel on either side of their faces, mimicking the human's ear placement.

The species has vibrant coloring, notably coming in colors such as bright magenta and deep orange. They have the ability to change into any physical form while they are holding their breath. They can turn into anything by absorbing part of the target's molecular structure, including, but not limited to various objects, animals, and even humans, making this ability a perfect method of camouflage. Octalians cannot hold their breath forever, though, so they need to change back to their true form in order to breathe. Octalians are able to survive in vacuum of space and stay conscious much longer, than Human could do. It appears that they aren't worried about pressure difference inside and outside the body, which may indicate that their breathing system did not include analogue of lungs. The vacuum immunity only works if the Octalian shapeshifts. They breathe oxygen.

Technology
Octalians are advanced civilization capable of interplanetary travel on their spaceships. They have technology of universal translators.
