The Sadar, or volatilisglaciessapian (flying snow thinker), are native to a cold, unforgiving world. They evolved from eel like animals in a highly active volcanic part of the frozen ocean, and moved to the surface when food beneath the ever-freezing ocean became scarce. In order to avoid being slaughtered by the animals already living (and feeding) on the surface, they converted their swim bladder into a flotation bladder over millions of years. Soon, they hovered above the snow, scooping up little critters with their long, hanging tentacles and shoving them greedily into their mouths on the bottom of their bodies. As they followed the animals North, they soon reached the warmer, unfrozen equator of their icy hell of a planet. Soon, they grew more intelligent and, no longer able to surprise prey with their snow-white coloring, began throwing sticks and rocks at animals to kill them. Throwing sticks and rocks soon evolved into throwing sticks with sharpened rocks on them, and thus the Sadar became intelligent. Soon, they gained sentience, and built civilizations of their own.

As you can see from the picture, their tentacles are somewhat leaf shaped, covered in tiny hairs on the bottom that aid in the act of gripping things and stuff.

I just wanted to try something a little more alien.

Well, that's very alien - could this be the thing the Qu evolved from?
