Pilot

Appearance
The Pilots are a race of odd creatures that look very inhuman, more like an octopus with a crab-like shell. They are usually a grey-ish color, with bright orange or red eyes.

Society
Little is known about their Society, only that it is a great honor for one to be the driver of a Leviathan, and that, once they merge with the Leviathan, they swear to serve it, and it's passengers. When they are paired with a Leviathan, they become 'bonded' to it, physically merging with the ship and becoming a part of it. It is very painful to remove them after that, and could kill the Pilot if attempted. As they cannot leave the driving room they are bonded in, they communicate to the passengers via hologram, coms, speakers or by letting said passenger into the diving room.

Strengths and Weaknesses
They are extremely intelligent, but cannot walk on their own. They are best known for driving the Leviathan Ships, as they are the only ones who can think fast enough and have enough hands to control it. Their lifespan is also very long, though when bonded, shrinks to match that of the living ship they pilot. The only ones who can actually communicate with Leviathan.
