Octalian

The Octalians are a race of extraterrestrial cephalopods from the planet Octalia. They've taken an interest in Milo Murphy over his Negative Probability Ions.

Physical Appearance

Octalians have the appearance of humanoid octopuses. The species has four upper tentacles that function much like human arms. Likewise, their lower tentacles function similar to human legs. The back of their heads extend into a large, bulbous mantle, and there is a small siphon-like funnel on either side of their faces, mimicking the human's ear placement.

The species has vibrant coloring, notably coming in colors such as bright magenta and deep orange.

The Octalians aboard the Octalian Ship wear outfits akin to uniforms, colored blue with red highlights. These outfits extend from just beneath their heads to the area immediately above their lower tentacles, with a pair of sleeves on each side of their chests for their upper tentacles.

Abilities

The Octalians have skills and abilities unique to their species, which they utilize when studying Milo Murphy.

• Shapeshifting: The Octalians have the ability to change into any physical form while they are holding their breath. They can turn into anything, including, but not limited to various objects, animals, and even humans, making this ability a perfect method of camouflage. Octalians cannot hold their breath forever, though, so they need to change back to their true form in order to breathe.

History

In Managing Murphy's Law, an Octalian ship doing a routine scan of the planet detects Milo Murphy thanks to Murphy's Law. Two octalians proceed to study him before deciding they'll return later.

In Milo's Shadow, the Octalian Commander gave the order that a human needed to be 'removed from the equation' after deciding that he knew too much about aliens. Before they could eliminate him, however, they're hit by a beam that causes their ship to begin returning to their home planet.

In Sick Day, the Octalians succeed in gathering a tissue sample from Milo Murphy, having snuck through his house to get it. After scanning the sample, their suspicions about his negative probability ions are confirmed and they decide that they're going to abduct him.

In Abducting Murphy Law the aliens sends a robotic android on Milo after they abducted him. Later through the day the spent time trying to find him through the vents. The Commander says that Milo is the one and plans to take him to their world But Murphy Law acts up and sends them back to Octalian and Milo back to earth. After milo lands he tells his friends about his adventures but had an impression it was something more. The Localizer said that they'll probably see them again.
