Nautolan

A Nautolan

The **Nautolan**, also known as Nautiloids, are an amphibious humanoid species from the watery planet, Glee Anselm. They are fiercely loyal to their families with the oldest among them being their leaders. However, the most common kinds of Nautolans were known as force users throughout most of Star Wars. There are also Avatars of the Nautolans that can use the force but others do various other roles as well.

## Physiology

The Nautolan posses a rather amphibious humanoid body with low light vision and impressive swimming skills. Their bony endoskeleton and dense cartilage made them tough and resistant to glancing blows. They also lay eggs that become tadpoles that develop arms, legs and head tendrils during the age of two. When the child becomes the size of a human infant, their limbs will be weak and unable to support their weight, forcing many of the children to live in aquatic environments for much of their childhood. The average Nautolan can stand up to 5'9'' (1.8 meters) with having either green, blue, purple, brown skin, or in rare cases, red, and large black or dark maroon eyes with lids that are seldom used. The Nautolans are capable of breathing underwater.

They also possess a very high sense of smell and pheromone-sensing skills, thanks to the tendrils on their head. These tendrils are used to detect the emotional state of another being, but are more effective underwater. Within Nautolan culture, the ability to sense pheromone changes is an essential part of the communication process. All Nautolans have fourteen of these sensory tentacles and multiple hearts that are capable of beating separately. Like their sense of smell, Nautolan language is also maximized for use underwater and not fully pronounceable in a gaseous atmosphere. Because of the loss in linguistic detail, most Nautolans chose to speak Anselmian or Galactic Basic when traveling off-world. In addition, Nautolans used other communicative cues when submerged, such as reading the swirls in other Nautolans' large eyes.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Most of the Nautolans have become Jedi or Sith with few being smugglers, soldiers, government agents, workers, gangsters, and sometimes scientists. Yet despite their occupations, many have been keeping their music collection made by others of their kind. Nautolan music was composed of sustained notes held in irregular patterns with occasional pauses. These pauses were considered the most important part of the music to the Nautolans, causing non-Nautolan listeners to misunderstand their artistic intent. Nautolan artists are rare outside of Glee Anslem.

There are also Avatars of Nautolans but are extremely rare as the update of Star Wars: The Old Republic featured on October 22nd, 2019. The reason why is because the game had the playable Nautolans having complications with animation, armor clipping, and people saying they're too ugly since they didn't used the stock . So many were spared from the parasitic organism that were infecting Avatars.

## Post Apocalypse

When the apocalypse happened, only a few made their way to our reality. Some of them are regular Nautolans that settled onto aquatic worlds to establish some colonies with many other aquatic species from various series. Even some of the Avatar Nautolans joined them as protectors against any sort of hostile native lifeforms. The Avatars also assist a few other nations that have been banished and some that are part of the United Nations & Creations. As for the Nautolans at large, many remain in the Star Wars galaxy.
