Description
Part 2 of 3 with , featuring the Others, which are genetically engineered Friends ([link] ) with the ability to live on land. Like their "ancestors", they are sexually monomorphic.

1 is the Other version of 1. The front tentacles changed into legs while the hind tentacles function like hands. They retained their electroreceptors and electrical organs and can use them for communication among each other and, with the right equipment, with other species as well.
2 is the Other version of 2/3, which uses its hind body to stand on but walks using it's hind body and side tentacles. It's lungs are derived from parts of the hydraulic system used to move their podites.
3 is a different version of 2/3, which uses its derived swimming lobes as legs to keep the side tentacles free while walking. In this version the gill pockets changed into lungs.
4 is the Other version of 5. They differentiated their limbs into four walking legs and two arms. They still use a combination of fingers and eye tentacles for manipulation. A part of their crop differentiated into lungs.
5 is the Other version of 4, keeping the tetralateral symmetry. All tentacles were changed into walking legs and the tail tip split up as a new manipulative organ. Because it is hard to use only one "hand", multiple individuals synchronize their behavior to cooperate when using it.
5 is an alternative version of 4, where the tetralateral symmetry was changed into a secondary bilateral symmetry. The head portion of the body was stretched out and forms large parts of the "body", while the "tail" is the majority of the body portion. All four tentacles possess finger-like extensions to aid in manipulation on the hands anf stabilize the feet. Like 5, both versions use a row of spiracles for respiration.
