Cephalopod teeth guide (Patreon)

These are based off of accurate respective beaks. Slight modifications and exaggerations to emphasize differences.
their pallates are also “kinda” ”accurate”, but not as much as the beaks. The different shapes of the palletes themselves are unimportant, but the contents where in are. They all have radula, but not all have the same or same density.
octopuses have minimal radula since they have prioritized their beaks and toxins, nautilus has the most radulla, with lots of interlocking pieces. Squids have a smooth lines of interlocking radulla, so I drew it exaggerated. And cuttlefish are more generic for now. The radula is always pointed backwards towards the throat. I have given some creative liberties to make the radula moslty unmovable and the tongue (if they have one) being the only radula like piece to do so. Most “tongues” are tapered and skinny, with a lining of spiky grooves for attaching prey (food). Still debating if they should also have thick “tongues” that do the same but at a wider width albeit shorter length.
these are strictly full cephalopods. human cepholopods will have a variety of these pieces, some more than other, and especially likely to have softer tongues like humans, which may be lightly grooved. The density, size, and extent will vary depending on the imprint of human genes. strick cephalopods will be largely based on one group than multiple, while human/cephalopods have a likelier chance of being many, especially in generations that had many different cephalopods as partners. humans (magic here) became somewhat as a mediator, allowing successful mix and match.
strict cephalopods will not have that luck, and interspecies will lead to one type dominating the other in the end. (At random)
