Nautolan

The Nautolans were a humanoid race amphibious in nature, with green skin and a collection of fourteen headtails falling from the rear of their skulls. The Nautolans were native to the Sabilon region of the aquatic world Glee Anslem, a planet they shared with the Anselmi. Nautolans retained many physical traits of their amphibious ancestors, including their ebbed fingers and toes.

As a people, the Nautolans were known for their incredible sense of smell, which came from the highly receptive olfactory receptors located throughout their head-tails. This incredibly sophisticated olfactory sense allowed a Nautolan to detect the presence of pheromones and changes in a being's body chemistry. This sense of smell was exceptional when used underwater, but tended to fade when the Nautolan lived on the land. Because of this, and the fact that their native Nautolan language could only be fully pronounced underwater, Nautolans preferred to live in the water. Because their sense of smell was so powerful, many Nautolans tended to feel the same emotions as those beings around them. However, in almost any situation, a Nautolan could be counted on to act with joy and unrestrained happiness, as evidenced by Nautolan warriors smiling in the midst of combat.

In addition to verbal and pheromonal communication, the subtle swirls and patterns found in a Nautolan's unblinking eyes often displayed their emotions.

The music of the Nautolan race was difficult to comprehend for most other races, as the pauses between notes were more important than the notes themselves. The musical notes were often sustained in irregular units.

Immature Nautolans were born as tadpoles that hatched from a clutch of eggs, but grew and matured quite quickly. Within two years of birth, most Nautolans were similar in size to most humans. Mating was considered more of an evolutionary necessity than an emotional attachment, although most Nautolans mated for life.

Although the Nautolan race was sometimes referred to as Nautiloids, this was acutally an incorrect use of their genus name.
