Zeedenker (Dutch zee-den-kerr, Zee = Sea + Denker = thinker)

Octopus-like Wesen, specificly Giant Pacific, that originate from the European coast. They are quiet and intelligent and have an innate knowledge of the sea. Because of this, they were often kept aboard boats and other vessels for navigation purposes.

When morphed they grow several tentacles around the face, forming beards in males and long, dread-like hair in females. These tentacles are prehensile, but relatively useless due to their length, although the grow longer with age. The skin becomes a motled red, though green and browns are not unheard of. The nose recedes to a pair of slits and the ears become a pair of gills or 'breathing tubes'. The pupils also become rectangular. Some Zeedenker have the ability to squirt ink, though this trait appears to be recessive.

Gore Verbinski of Pirates of the Caribbean fame is a notable Zeedenker, and based the look of Davy Jones off his Woge'd form, adding a lobster claw and leg as creative license.
