Ventrilosquid

Ventrilosquid is the Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Lignja-Um from Cascareau's moon, Kontrolirati.
==Appearance==
Ventrilosquid is a humanoid, squid-like alien. His skin is a dark teal, while his underbelly is colored orange. He has orange spots on the teal, while he has many tiny suckers on the orange. He has large tentacles coming off of his face where his mouth would otherwise be, as well as some coming off the back of his head. His arms are each comprised of two tentacles, one wrapped around the other. He wears a black outfit with dark grey straps and red armor, notably two red and grey shells on his shoulders, a red bandana wrapped around his waist, and boots that are dark grey, dark brown, and tan.
Ventrilosquid wears the Simplicitrix on his chest, visible under his tentacles.
==Powers==
*Ventrilosquid's primary ability is his telepathy. He can use this to read or control minds. This is also how he communicates.
*Ventrilosquid has limited telekinesis.
*Ventrilosquid can breath underwater.
*Ventrilosquid's tentacles are elastic and his arms can shapeshift, akin to Squidstrictor.
*Ventrilosquid has enhanced strength, durability, and intelligence, though he is outclassed by other intelligence aliens such as Brainstorm and Grey Matter.
==Weaknesses==
*Opponents that are mindless, such as zombies or robots, are completely immune to his telepathy.
*Opponents that are scatterbrained are harder for him to read the minds of.
*Ventrilosquid's telepathy has a limited range, meaning if he separates himself from his target unintentionally, they won't be under his control. This also limits his ability to communicate with people.
==Etymology==
*Ventrilosquid's name is a play on the words "ventriloquist" and "squid."
*Ventrilosquid's species name is a play on the Croatian words "lignja," meaning squid, and "um," meaning mind.
*Ventrilosquid's planet name is the Croatian word for "control."
==Trivia==
*Ventrilosquid's design was made using the silent, psychic sentinels from the Cascareau Alien Worlds short.
*Ventrilosquid was originally going to be a squid-like alien from Undertown.
