Cephalod-ae

Cephalod-ae are a squid-like species from Molluskus.

Anatomy
Cephalod-ae are orange, squid-like aliens with green eyes and multiple tentacles.

Predator
The Cephalod-ae's predators are the Humpbackus.

Powers/Abilities
Cephalod-ae have a powerful grip and incredible crushing abilities.

Cephalod-ae can contort into a small space and camouflage in color.

Much like an Earth octopus or squid, the Cephalod-ae can shoot sticky ink that can blind or slow down enemies.

Weaknesses
Cephalod-ae have an aversion to strong light and cannot stay out of water for longer than 20 minutes.

Behavior
Cephalod-ae are deeply spiritual as the suckers on their limbs help them "feel" the Mana of everything they come into touch. Therefore, Cephalod-ae are one of the galaxy's most emphatic and sympathetic races.

Omnitrix Transformation
The Omnitrix's Cephalod-ae representative is named Squidstrictor, who first appeared in the live-action stage production Ben 10: Power of the Omnitrix. Derrick J. Wyatt would later confirm that Squidstrictor has been unlocked and used off-screen during Omniverse.

Etymology
Cephalod-ae comes from the word cephalopod.
