A New Age Of Squibbion's

The Squibbon is a singular creature. He has a set of gifts that makes him unique among the animals, so that, unlike them, he is not a figure in the landscape-he is a shaper of the landscape.

Cephalopods were known for defying expectations from there earliest ancestor the Monoplacophorans such as Knightoconus the Cephalopods would go down a remarkable evolutionary path. The evolution of there circulatory system the lose of there shell and complex eyes all from. The Cephalopods proved to be remarkable survivor's enduring through all 7 mass extinctions surviving when some 99 percent of species failed.

Along the way they filled almost every available niche from the 16mm Northern Pygmy Squid to the 30 foot Colossal Squid and Cameroceras.

From tiny to massive from hunter to hunted the Cephalopods survived and thrived across all of the worlds oceans.

The main thing was the ocean for all 700 million years of there evolution Cephalopods had been confined to the ocean. That all changed  after 7th mass extinction with much of Earth's terrestrial life wiped out a small population of shallow water dwelling Humboldt Squid descendants would become the first Cephalopods to leave the water and become fully terrestrial with there cuttlebone skeleton the Terrateuthiformes had managed to converge on the body plane of the vertebrates Despite coming from a completely different starting point and being separated by over 800 million years. 

The Cephalopods one of the most successful groups of animals in the history of earth eventually became one of only 2 animals in history to tame the element of fire. 

Fire had been known to Squibbion's since they first appeared in the Northern Forest 20 million years ago when the occasional lighting strike during Hypercane hit a tree igniting the sky in crescendo of bright orange and yellow flame that flickered in the sky for a few minutes before being extinguished by the rains. 

The Squbbion's naturally curious beings that they are were attracted to the bright glowing thing in the sky. Some Squibbion's would pick up the burning branches waving the stick about in the air screaming and hollering in the tree tops. 

Eventually one would figure out to dry lighting a dry branch using the burning embers swinging through the trees caring the torch with them.  

  This was the extent of the Squibbion's fire creating ability's 500 000 years the Squbbion's only used fire or as they called it " Sky Light " briefly. Eventually one group of Squbbion's figured out cooking using the flame to render meat more palatable and easy for there beaks to break down and spending less time breaking down food.
