- Description: All of the species have the appearance of a humanoid female body shape, facial structure, and higher pitch vocal tone when speaking or singing. However, the species is without Hair in the generic term. These beings do not have hair folicles and instead where human hair would be on the top of the head, is replaced with bone growths called a "crown" typically in the shape of two horns in the front of the head that continuously grow through out the individuals life, followed in a series by other bone growths that grow quite rapidly until maturity to an adult age group. Where it will stop growing. Around this crown are "head tails" much the same way as a Lekku, that Togruta or Twi'leks have, however, they are much smaller in girth, and have a higher count depending upon the age of the individual. These can grow to mid length down the back, or further towards the individuals rear. These head tails due to their number, appear and can look like hair, but are in fact growths of skin and tissue. They are not prehensile, but it was assumed that many years ago they at one point were, with some individuals having the ability to make them "twitch." Older individuals have a growth on their chest that looks to be almost a "heart shape" named a "Clavicis" with the top of the heart extending into two(2) prehensile secondary "tentacles." These Tentacles can differ on an individual basis. namely being Clawed, taloned, Multi-fingered akin to the shape of some insects bodies, suckered, or in the case of Only the royal family, a set of secondary mouths that can be used for consumption. On the underside of the Clavicis, more tentacles can grow. Typically anywhere from four to six grow from this location on the bottom of the heart. They are also prehensile and "bare" that being without some kind of specialty compared to the two that grow from the top of the Clavicis. Two humanoid hands/arms, with two humanoid Legs as well, however, the feet have been shaped differently. With almost being fused into the leg, and the toes becoming one elongated "spine" in which they can stand and balance upon. While difficult to do so on land, in the water, it allows for the being to be more aerodynamic flow when swimming. Some individuals have coral like growths on their bodies, and in the deeper depths of bodies of water, are also known to have some light florescence to their skin. that can be noticed to a small degree by the naked eye. Lastly, two large sacs grow out from either side of the individuals head. These sacs can be used to increase or decrease buoyancy within water. Taking in water, these sacs can decrease buoyancy to allow deeper dives, or to expel the water and intake of oxygen or air to be stored for later, or to increase buoyancy much like a hydraulics system. They can also be completely emptied and just be two large sacs which when emptied, look to be just large flaps upon their head.
- Breathes: Type 1, Can also filter water through a separate set of gills to gather enough oxygen to breathe.
- Average Height of Adults: 2.13 meters
- Average Length of Adults: Tentacle Legnth - Adults average length is 1 meter
- Skin color:
- Main body complexion is an off white tone
- Hands, feet, and the ends of the tentacles shift from the off white tones to a pink
- The sacs upon their heads are typically a blue color tone.
- Some highlights of blue, reds, pinks, purples,
- Hair color: Headtail coloration is off white that matches the rest of the body and can have a highlight of pinks and blues.
- Distinctions:
- The only distinctions within the majority of the population is coloration of some of the headtails and arms and tentacles being blues, purples, pinks and the like. Otherwise, the only other distinction is that of the Royal family. All birthed to become the next monarch of the species, the tentacles on the clavicis are only able to be two extra sets of mouths which can be used to consume food.

CULTURE
- Diet: Carnivore, They feed on the brains/grey matter of various species. Thus, sentient humanoids that are drawn to them by pheromones are a very readily source of food. However, they can feed on other creatures and animals.
- Communication: Vocally through a language known as "Warble" due to the sound of it. When speaking on land, the species seems to make a series of almost gargles, warbles, trills, and squeaks. However, underwater, this warble language can be used due sub-harmonic frequencies. However, a unique venture by this species of individuals, is the ability to "Sing" A rhythmic sound of vocals that is emulated reminiscent of a choir of women singing. However, no lyricism, or known language is used. This has been used to draw attention of humanoids to look for said sound, and then further drawn in by the pheromones to become a meal for these syrens. It is unknown if they know galactic basic directly, but older individuals have been rumored to be much more knowledgeable either by age, or again, by rumors of eating the brain matter of intelligent species gives them more knowledge.
- Technology level: Tribal in nature, their homes are pretty much just cave systems within the depths of water. Fashioned weapons out of stone, wood, rock, and salvaged metal. However, the Royal Family has one notable exception with owning a "Sunsword" or a Lightsaber with a red blade. Where they had gotten it is unknown, but it is used as a symbol of the monarch of the royal family.
- Religion/Beliefs: Direct beliefs of deities or otherworldly beings is not a concept in their culture. As far that is aware, the only religious aspect they have, is the loyalty to their monarch. The queen. Royalty to them is their law, and order. Thus, the monarch is the one who decides how their culture is ran. This causes quite some contention within their culture, as each queen runs it differently. Thus nailing down the direct culture of these people and their religious views can differ from which "era" of which queen reined.
- General behavior: [ Describe general behaviors such as: family life, values, how they raise their young, how they find mates, how they interact with the world and other species around them. Do they hunt? Do they build? Are they inventors? Are they explorers? Are they nocturnal or diurnal? Do they attend schools? Etc, etc. ]
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
[ Include a description of the species history here. If your species is genetically engineered or Sithspawn please describe the process through which they were created, by who, and why. Explain the various challenges encountered during their creation. Most galactic species will be quite old - include major events relevant to the species in how they evolved and developed into what they are today where appropriate. Including Chaos canon events, where they impacted the history of this species, is a plus. ]
