Entirety animal Species: Nuult by FamiliarAlien

Entirety animal Species: Nuult

FamiliarAlien

Sorry if art has been a tad slow. Still recovering from Xmas stuff and playing a lot of Pokemon. Anyway here's a very brightly coloured xeno animal!

Nuults are a very interesting creature, they look a bit like a mix of a mollusc and a fish but are actually neither. They're from a unique phylum found only on Blaeta (the planet in which the Shlen reside on).

Nuult vary in size and coloration. Most are around the size seen in the height chart though. Interestingly much like some creatures of earth coloration indicates toxicity with brown and greyish blue sub species using camouflage to defend themselves to the most part and bright ones like this pink sub species being very poisonous to consume. Another defence they have is reminiscent of pufferfish: they can inflate that sack on their face (its not actually a nose) to appear larger and more threatening. For the record if you wonder how they eat unlike cephalopods which mouth is between their tentacles. This fellow actually has a proboscis underneath its facial sack that comes out, it mostly eats tiny lifeforms but may eat carrion if it can manage to suck a piece off.

As far as designs go I just wanted something a bit more... well alien then the last few designs I've done. As a last point of interest is the number of tentacles can vary a bit per specimen, most have 5 tentacles but some may have 4 or 6 so if I draw these guys in he future and the number is inconsistent that is why :U

So enjoy!
