Creature:Adorisquid

=Content:Adorisquid=

The Adorisquid are a peaceful species, relying on their ability to be instantly liked by the crustiest of creatures in order to survive. Saying that their fighting ability lacks is an understatement, as their evolutionary path has sacrificed most weapons, and even feet in the pursuit of being as adorable as physically possible. However, that does not mean that the Adorisquid aren't dangerous. Their irresistible cuteness, combined with their near-inability to fight, make them the least powerful allies possible.

It is also important to note that the Adorisquids taste as sweet as they look. Eating a whole one is not recommended, however, as their body sugar content is considered a lethal dosage for most species.

Tips
Dealing with a non-sentient Adorisquid pack is a difficult task. Allying with their kind is difficult. Their large amount of befriending parts makes them more tolerant to being impressed by foreign species. Under normal circumstances, it would be much more difficult to simply slaughter the species and serve their rubbery flesh in Japanese restaurants. However, the moral repercussions caused by killing them is unbearable for all but the most belligerent species, and has been known to introduce the concept of crippling depression to developing races.

An encounter with the tribal form of the species is a more preferable circumstance, as they will be more than happy to ally with you. Desperate to keep relations with a more militarily powerful species, they will constantly supply gifts. Do not, however, expect an Adorisquid tribe to fight off an Epic or a warring tribe on your behalf, because they will always have somewhere else they have to be that night.

Tips for cities of Adorisquid would be redundant, because by the time you encounter them you can simply burn them to a crisp with your ship's laser.

An empire of Adorisquids is no obstacle. As with tribal Squids, they ally with other nations easily. The only problem is that they have nearly zero military, and will require constant babysitting. Economically, it is more efficient to simply let them get overtaken by a superior race, and attempt to befriend them. The only downside is the guilt of letting such a cute species get shot with missiles, but that can be cured with medication.
