Those concept pics are great. They aren't very close to the se4 race descriptions (the Cue Cappa don't look at all squid-like, for instance) but never mind.

On page 70 of the Space Empires IV manual it states: "The Cappa are large squid-like creatures, and the Cue are parasites that inhabit their bodies."

Yeah, somebody here wrote a whole story about a Terran detective investigating a murder on a CueCappa world (or something like that), and the CueCappa were just like Wade says.

I don't know who noticed this too or not, but the top picture on cueman-shakka-copy.jpg actually does show the parasite, though ya it doesn't look very squid-like there.

The parasite is not described as squid-like - only the Cappa host.

Default Re: CueCappa

Yeah, the Cue are smart, telepathic, and weak. The Cappa are borderline sentient but strong. The Cue control the Cappa but feel protective and emotionally attached. The Cappa sort-of know they are being controlled but don't seem to mind, because they also feel protective and emotionally attached to their host. (At least that's how Dogscoff portrayed them.) Imagine if humans were the size of pgymy marmosets and psychic, and they used elephants as hosts. Kind of like that, but even more alien.
