Nautilus! The silly goofy creature!
These guys are quite rare in most societies, with less than a million around the world. Almost their entire bodies are covered in a massive shell that they can retract into as a defence!
They also sleep and sit down in there too, it’s very funny-looking.
I didn’t change much from the actual game because they are perfect Though I did make some alterations.
Natuli have a total of 11 limbs (much less than a real Nautilus, I know). They have four arms, four tentacles and three legs. The tentacles have a sheath that they retract into (the bit with the spots!)
The third leg is actually what later evolved into a tail in Inklings and Octolings, but Nautili kept it as they still need extra support for their heavy shells. FYI They walk on two legs, but they stand on three.
Nautili are born with their shells, and cannot remove them or repair them if they are chipped or cracked. As a result, they take extremely good care of their shells, always polishing it and stuff.
Unlike Inkfish, these guys have no suckers, no ink sac and they only have a single heart. They have four kidneys though, so i guess that makes up for it. They also have no chromatophores, so they can’t change colour and are always a shade of whitish-pink and red.
Though since they are cephalopods, they’ve got blue blood and a beak. It isn’t nearly as strong as a inkfish though, but strong enough to easily bite off your fingers with a single chomp.
Being a rather rare species, Nautilus-specific services such as clothing and healthcare are unfortunately hard to come by if you don’t live in the city, so most Nautili live in urban areas.
Ok i’m done infodumping goodbye and enjoy the funky creature!

i feel like there could be an ecosystem of just small fry and they travel around by cartoonishly digging holes in the walls with forks/ spoons
