   Humans (Homo sapiens) are an extinct species of primate that once populated the world over 12,000 years before the present day. While none are known to have survived to the present day, many remaining artifacts from the humans are still present and discovered by the current dominant species. Human fossils and bones are a common discovery, many of which are exhibited in museums. Humans were indirectly responsible for the genesis of the sentient life that exists in the Mollusk Era, as the humans of Alterna had developed a form of liquid crystal based on cephalopodic bodily fluids that reacted to thoughts and emotions; following the destruction of Alterna the crystals entered the underground seas, infusing the marine life with humanity's passive desire to see the surface, drastically accelerating their evolution. Inklings and Octolings should always be surprised when meeting a human or any living mammal given how long they're supposed to have been dead; the only exceptions being the cats Judd and Lil Judd.

   Inklings are a species of humanoid cephalopods who evolved from squids or cuttlefish after the extinction of humans due to rising sea levels. The life cycle of an Inkling is simple, they are born when their fathers sacrifice a small portion of their ink, and the females keep said ink in their body, allowing it to grow until the resulting egg (or eggs) come out, fully fertilized. When these eggs hatch, all Inkling are born in their ink, or "squid" forms, which appears as a cute colourful (albeit large) 4-foot long squid which has a triangular head, two wide eyes that have a black domino-mask like pattern around their eyes, and eight tentacles, two of which are longer than the rest. All Inklings stay like this until they turn 14-years-old, which is when they reach physical and sexual maturity, gaining the ability to go into their humanoid (or "squid kid") form. Where their body shifts and forms a humanoid shape, with tentacle hair, pointy ears, and slightly sharp teeth, while maintaining that black domino pattern around their eyes. Since all Inklings are made up of ink, Inklings don't actually have bones, they're completely ink-based and as such can rapidly shift between their ink form and humanoid form at will without any repercussions. As an Inkling ages however, their body's ink capacity will shrink and they will eventually get to a point where they'll be forced to either stay in their humanoid or ink form permanently. There are some forms of life-extensions though, that being sun-basking, which can help greatly extend Inkling life spans.

   The life cycle starts when two grown Inklings mate; the process of mating requires the male Inkling to deposit part of their body's ink into the female and the female will—in 9 months time, lay eggs which will hatch into young Inklings who for the first 13 years of their life will be in their "Squid" form; a form where they look look colourful and cute squids with two longer tentacles and 4 shorter ones with large eyes with a black domino eye-mask pattern around their eyes. It is when Inklings turn 14 that they gain their humanoid form. In their humanoid form, an Inkling's body is nearly identical to that of a human but with unique characteristics. Instead of hair, they have large tentacle appendages atop their heads; largely being styled as such that can be grown to as long as one's lower back. These tentacles change color to match an Inkling's ink and feature a gradient pattern, with the tentacles ventral surface often being a creamy white color and having suckers. Their eyes are surrounded by a black domino 'eye mask,' and they have pointed ears reminiscent of squid fins. Inklings' mouths contain ridges similar to human teeth, with three larger sharp points resembling a squid's beak. The color of an Inkling's tongue and blush all take the same shade as their ink. Like humans they have strictly flesh toned bodies, a naval, two arms, two legs, feet, two hands with four fingers and one thumb each though lacking fingernails entirety. Their genitals also largely resemble and function the same as that of humans, likewise having extremities such as breasts despite not being mammals. Inklings have soft skin, and while they have muscle and/or fat of varying definition, Inklings have no bones, excellent eyesight, and the ability to leap five feet in a single bound. Notably, their hair tentacles are actually sensitive to stimulation, as well as their ears which are incredibly important for an Inkling's electroreceptors and generally just their entire central nervous system, as their ears help with their balance, hand-eye coordination, and their accuracy when it comes to their super jumps.
