a. His muscle mass is incredibly dense, making him stronger and heavier than the average human his size(3*). a1. Similar to the increased muscle density, Simon's bones are at least twice as dense as the average human's. b. His mouth species' is concealed by a ring of 6-8(4*) b1. Tentacles secrete a paralytic substance when stimulated. Paralytic is comparable to high dose tranquilizers causing muscles to relax and ceasing motor function. Researcher exposed to the paralytic describes a feeling of "melting." b2. Tentacles are able to more independent of each other and are prehensile c. In addition to the tentacles, Simon has backward facing teeth similar to certain eel species(5*) suggesting a primarily carnivorous diet. d. Genitalia consists of single ovipositor concealed by a sheath(6*), eggs produced are semi-gelatinous and anywhere between 2.5-8cm in diameter. Eggs are stored in an internal clutch before being laid within a partner(7*). e. Additional internal structures including:

e1. A two stomach system similar to an owl with a primary stomach to liquify their prey, and a secondary stomach to grind down the hard bits(8*). The acid in the primary stomach is highly volatile, breaking hard bone into something more cartilaginous to be processed by secondary stomach. e2. Enlarged lungs (9*) e3. Secondary liver. This organ is smaller than the average human liver. e4. Venom pouch. This produces the substance which his tentacles secrete. e5. Egg pouch. Internal clutch produces an unspecified amount of eggs per currently unknown period. e6. Lower body temperature. Simon maintains an internal temperature significantly below standard human homeostasis. This allows for the internal egg clutch to maintain an ideal temperature pre-laying(10*).

f. "Missing" digits. Simon possesses 4 fingers on each hand (11*) and 4 toes on each foot. g. Tentacle "tastebuds." Each tentacle around his mouth is equipped with additional nerve structures which allow him to "taste" what he touches with them(12*)

Researcher Notes: Simon has a distinct sense of self which makes research into the general species he belongs to difficult. His individuality speaks to the intelligence of the species but also the stubbornness of him as an individual. He consumes an enormous amount of calories daily and is restless when sedentary for too long. He prefers cold environments to hot ones. He is highly territorial and does not respond well to threats. Either unwilling or unable to comprehend human social rules.

Simon is the name the creature has given itself and not a species name, he has not been forthcoming with information about his species.

Humanoid here refers to the manner in which Simon has disguised himself, he is able to approximate the human form incredibly well, possibly a hunting tactic.

This increased muscle density could imply a heavier gravity on his home planet, evolution accounting for the increased strain on a bipedal species by strengthening the musculoskeletal system.

Simon himself has 6 tentacles but claims other members of his species have upwards of 8. We are unable to substantiate this claim.

Much like an eel's his teeth are fashioned after needles and he has a far greater number than the average human might.

We observe ovipositors typically in female sexed creatures, but Simon describes himself as male. Perhaps his species has different sex markers than humans? Or else a different gender structure?

Simon has noted that he prefers fatter partners as they are more capable of meeting nutritional needs for gestating eggs. Unclear if this is a personal or species preference.

Similar to an owl Simon tend to swallow his rations whole, again it is unclear if this is personal or species preference.

Simon has demonstrated an ability to hold his breath for upwards of an hour, but claims to be "out of practice." Could be a by-product of the denser musculature.

Eggs appear to begin gestation in response to heat, higher temperatures causing the eggs to begin absorption of host DNA in order to complete their fertilization and implantation. Lower temperatures seem to maintain sterility.

Simon is able to spread his fingers wider than documented concert pianists.
