Molcha

Physiology
The Molcha are a race very similar in appearance to the Terran octopus. They have no body, only a round, bulbous head about 25 cm in width and 40 cm in length. They have very strong radial symmetry, with 14 tentacles surrounding the bottom of the head, and three large eyes at regular intervals, offering 360 degree range of vision. Their beak-like mouths are situated in the center of the underside of the mantle that connects these tentacles, and is surrounded by more, smaller tentacles to pull food into the mouth. Their technology utilizes all of these tentacles, and is impossible to be used by any other race.They are amphibious creatures that spend much of their time in nutrient-rich, oxygenated baths of water, but are capable of terrestrial excursions of six hours or more.

Culture
Driven by a very technocratic society, the Molcha are one of the few races in the intergalactic community exceptionally advanced in technology. Their heavy focus on sciences and incredible precision has lead them to become some of the most skilled pilots and technicians, and their full range of vision and lower than average sleep requirements has given them preferential positions in any position requiring vigilance and critical thinking.
