Perhaps, An Alien Species?

Due to their otherworldly appearance and unique characteristics, people often refer to cuttlefish as alien species. Cuttlefish possess large, bulging eyes, undulating tentacles, and a remarkable ability to rapidly change colors and patterns on their skin. These features and their intelligence and complex behaviors give them a mysterious aura.
