[RULES]:monsters: new races

Any ideas for new races? That is, not space-borne versions of
traditional D&D races but really new ones that have their own ships and
so on? I have a couple that have worked OK. One is a race of fruit trees
with vine tentacles as their manipulative members and spherical ships
possibly mistaken for beholder vessels. The other is a race of molluscs
resembling big-headed octopi. The octopi are a straight mollusc-type
octopus race with their own ships resembling biremes with triangular
sails and beaks for boarding and ramming. There is nothing crudely
octopus-like in their ship design as there is no real reason for it -
after all the humans that use tradesman don't look like goldfish.
