![]() ![]() As they have no apparent eyes, the low clicking sounds may be some form of echolocation. The vocal and writing components are unrelated. Heptapods use low-pitched, thrumming vocal communication that is unpronounceable by Humans (classified as Heptapod A), and a written script (Heptapod B). Seen in silhouette, the upper body of the Heptapod resembles a vaguely humanoid figure, eerily reminiscent of images of a hooded Grim Reaper.Ĭulture and society Communication and language The seven appendages only form a small lower portion of the Heptapod's body, with a large upper section that resembles the long diamond-shaped body of a squid, and a head-like object. ![]() Their physique seems to vary noticeably among individuals, as Costello is slightly lighter than Abbott. However, several orifices are visible on Costello's upper body. They have a dull-grey, fleshy-looking skin with a smooth texture, and they seem to have no visible eyes or mouths. When walking, they appear to put five limbs ahead and the remaining two behind as they move. They have jointed, arthropod-like limbs, each ending in a point that can split open into a seven-pointed starfish-like "hand". On Earth, they never leave the confines of their spaceships, perhaps due to them being unable to breathe Earth's atmosphere and/or withstand Earth's gravity, and instead leave it to the Humans to initiate first contact. As the name suggests, a Heptapod has seven limbs, whose arrangement makes the lifeform heptaradially-symmetrical. ![]()
