Argalian

Argalians are native to the planet Argalia, a planet not unlike Earth, with approximately 75% of the surface covered in water.

Although Argalians are mammals, the more politically incorrect regions of the galaxy, and children, tend to refer to them as the jellyfish heads. Their skulls are translucent, showing the brain and top of the spinal cord; the rest of the body is semi-translucent, showing visible transparency when the skin is stretched, such as during pregnancy. Argalian skin comes in various shades of pink, and has a general sheen to it, although the skin is not oily or rubbery in any way. Rather than a skeleton made from bone, Argalians have a cartilage skeleton which also accounts for their great flexibility.

In the place of head hair, the Argalians have flexible tentacles that wrap around the skull. These can be moved independently by the Argalian, and were once used as a defence mechanism during the species early development; many Argalian children have been known to use their head tentacles in this manner when being raised in mixed-species environments.
