Question

This race evolved by absorbing liquid crystal fragments from the destroyed underground civilization of Alterna. A professor cryogenically froze his beloved cat Judd, who eventually joined this race’s society 10,000 years later. These beings are recruited to collect Golden Eggs by Grizzco Industries, (15[1])which was founded by the bear Mr. (15[1])Grizz. A large metropolis home to this race is powered by a giant electric (*) Zapfish, which was once stolen by DJ Octavio. (10[1])After rising sea levels wiped out humanity, this species fought for increasingly limited land with the Octarians in the Great Turf War. That war inspired a modern-day sport played by this race, in which two teams compete to cover the most area with colored liquid. For 10 points, name these beings that can transform between “kid” and “squid” forms (10[1])and are partly named for the liquid they shoot. ■END■
