Khobotasts

Khobotast (pronounced /xoˈbo'tʰa:st/) are an ancient and mysterious molluiscoid species capable of surviving both in sea and land. Their kingdoms and settlements are primarily underwater, usually deep in the ocean but occasionally close to shore.

Appearance
Khotobasts vary greatly in height and size, although males and females are not known to differentiate from one another significantly in this regard.

Khotobasts' facial features are adorned with a series of tendrils, most of which are rudimentary and do not possess movement. The tendrils closest to the mouth are most capable of movement.

The molluiscoids' arms are usually very slender, unless trained to be otherwise, and generally end with a hand-like anatomical landmark, with tendrils acting as fingers. It should be noted that Khotobasts do not all have the same amount of fingers per hand, and this number generally varies between four and seven.

Their skin is very porous, and susceptible to polluted or poisoned air. As their lungs are not as developed as their gills, Khotobasts do not fare well in spaces and situations where clean, breathing air is not readily available.

History
Khotobasts were involved in the , where they were manipulating events and seeking to take over installations for their own purposes.
