Splyfayfer

A typical splyfayfer.

Splyfayfer are gnome-sized creatures from the planet Framulove. Somewhat resembling sea angels, they possess three dextrous tentacles atop their head with which they are able to manipulate tools, three stubby "gripping" tentacles on the the upper front of their bodies, four fins that they use to "swim" through the air, a large, thin, amorphous eye in a slit in their middle and two small stridulatory organs shaped like claws, with which they are able to produce a vast range of sounds.

They are able to move about in the air as they contain a substantial amount of hydrogen, and feed by osmosis on special orbs called byflkisms.

Their great intelligence and excellent memory makes them natural spellcasters.
