Differences in Inklings, Octolings, and Neukadians

Inklings and Octolings share many common characteristics, with great consistency between members of the same group. Neukadians, despite inheriting from them, have reoccurring independent traits.

Rarely, a Neukadian may be impossible to differentiate from an Inkling or Octoling.
Of course, this does not invalidate who and what they are.
