Signs and Portents #47 provides four new intelligent aliens, of which, to me, the Torta show most potential. The article compares them to sharks, though I wonder if leopard seals might be an equally instructive comparison. TortaTorta are a lately-aquatic carnivorous species whose watery home planet's orbit was disrupted by a major impact and its surface encrusted with ice, driving them to emerge onto cold shelves and volcanic island chains. Little-known to outsiders, a large proportion of their population still live below the waves in warm ocean rifts, kept in servitude to farm food for the advanced surface-dwelling caste.
