Dianoga (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Dianoga are crestures featured in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigratd from the Star Wars franchise (now owned by Disney). They are large cephalopods, capable of growing up to ten meters in length, though most specimens grew to approximately five or six meters. They had a single eyestalk protruding from their mollusk-like bodies, and seven suckered tentacles surrounding a fanged maw containing a sharp serrated probe.
==Description==
Dianoga originated on the planet Vodran—where the creatures evolved a form of natural camouflage to disguise themselves and avoid the planet's large predators. Their bodies would become transparent when unfed, and, conversely, were known to change to reflect the color of the food they had eaten. This was achieved by diverting small portions of digested food into a series of ducts underneath the creature's skin, which would appear to affect the color of the dianoga's flesh.
Over many millennia, dianoga migrated from Vodran by stowing away aboard garbage ships in their microscopic larval forms, and could be commonly found in trash compactors, garbage pits, and sewers across the multiverse, living off any present organic matter. They were primarily scavengers, and only posed a threat to living creatures when starving or threatened. Because of their penchant for living in and feeding on organic waste, dianoga were sometimes referred to as garbage squids, sewage squids, or trash monsters.
Dianoga would often prove a nuisance to Mobians and other sapient creatures by nesting in bodies of water, sewage systems, and whatever other large concentrations of dirty, appalling liquid that they could locate. Smaller dianoga were even known to crawl out of toilets. Despite this, they could prove useful, since they served to rid waste of biological material, leaving behind salvageable minerals and metals (greatly solving pollution problems on planets like Mobius and Batuu). Only when a dianoga grew too large was it usually considered a threat, especially in urban areas such as Galactic City on Coruscant and Mobotropolis on Mobius. Indeed, Coruscant's Desrini District experienced a dianoga infestation, following an incident with a misfiring garbage launcher. Up to twenty-five residents were reported to have been attacked by the scavengers, and it was believed the creatures would quickly spread to neighboring districts. The presence of a single dianoga was often cause for alarm, since the creatures were self-fertilizing hermaphrodites, and could quickly multiply to pose a larger problem.
One dianoga was known to have boarded the first Death Egg, and made its home in one of the space station's garbage compactors. When Sonic, Sonia and Manic were forced into the trash compactor during the rescue of the dream-traveler NiGHTS, the dianoga attacked Sonic. It pulled the King of Mobius under the murky, polluted water, but was scared away when the compactor walls activated. The dianoga itself had managed to burrow into the wall, and so was relatively safe inside the compactor; that is, until the Death Egg was destroyed, eliminating one last remnant of the Robotnik Empire. Howeever, the dianoga managed to escape unharmed, and apologized to the King for causing so much trouble.
Another infestation of dianoga was experienced by Mario in the sewers beneath King Bowser and Queen Peach's palace on Kinoko. Upon exiting the sewers, Mario and Luigi were forced to fight and kill a full grown dianoga, which was at least 10 meters long.
Dianoga were also found on Anoat.
Dianoga could be found in the sewers of Coruscant, Mobius, Corneria and many other locations across the multiverse. Among other meat dishes, their flesh was used in the making of dianoga pie, and their spleens could be processed to make Dianogan tea.
