The Fludentri are able to make their bodies assume varying degrees of solidity. They can wrap their tendrils quickly around prey and tighten them with ferocious strength. They see combat as a fine art, and a Fludentri is deeply moved by a finely-improvised combat performance between skilled and creative warriors. They do not respect abstract thought or communication with concepts — they see these things as fuzzy-minded and irrelevant, and they prefer to let their bravery in action speak for them. A Fludentri's status and cultural power is determined by its skill in combat.
