They appear to be constructed of shelled modules that have concave "nodes" in multiple spots, and can be linked together to form the body of a Hooka. The essential component is the Hooka head, which has a long bottle-like snout (with a perpetually "O" shaped mouth) and two "eyes" that look like concave depressions similar to the "linking nodes" elsewhere on Hooka bodies. (It has been reported that some variations of Hookas actually have "googly eyes" in these sockets -- possibly another "breed" of Hooka, though it seems that both varieties are just as capable of seeing.) Hookas have their own language, which sounds akin to blowing over the top of a glass bottle partially filled with water ... though Hookas are also capable of making louder "honking" noises as well. <p> Hookas are actually capable of disassembling themselves and then reassembling into different forms. Body parts can be mixed and matched with other Hookas, and a head-less Hooka body can apparently perform some limited functions for a few seconds ... but the conscience of a Hooka resides in the head, and if a body part is removed from the head for more than a few seconds, it is unable to function (that function generally just consisting of trying to find the body again) until physically reattached. <p> Hookas have been found in the Wandering Roams, and have been reported on the planet of Arcadia as well. The Hookas in the Wandering Roams are of the "eye socket" variety, having shells the color of bone. Those of Arcadia are of the "googly eye" variety, and come in a wide range of colors in addition to the "bone" color. Little is known of how Hookas live on Sinai, but on Arcadia it has been reported that Hookas are grown (in the form of head plus a few modules) by an especially large "Hooka Queen". Apparently there is organic material inside of each module, and they are capable of growing. It is not known how additional "modules" are created, or if these creatures possess genders. They appear to eat plant material by sucking it in through their mouth/nose orifices. <p> In at least one incident on Arcadia, there was a report of malformed Hookas being born that had blackish shells. These "baby" Hookas would fall over, crack open, and then exude wormy growths that would link up with other such wormy creatures, to form larger beings that would prey upon (normal) Hookas and upon the environment. These monsters appeared to be able to drain the life from anything they touched, burning large paths through the Arcadian forest. No such monsters have been reported on Sinai, however.
