Homebrew Cephalid Species Details

Cephalids are octopus-like humanoids. They possess tentacles that act as facial and head hair, and retain many cephalopod traits, including color-changing markings controlled by their emotions, three hearts, and a boneless anatomy that allows them to "pour" themselves into tight spaces.

They are primarily associated with the Obscura family, where many not only act as information seekers but enforcers as well.
