I have been wondering for quite a while how life outside of earth looks like or would look like. Specifically, i am interested in how sentient life would look like in the vast emptiness of space itself. The non-human space beings that i am thinking of would be an octopus-like people who could cling to their spacecrafts with their tentacles. They would also have enormous lungs so that they can survive outside of their vehicles for extended periods of time.
I believe my question can be interpreted in two ways: How would human life adapted to space look like? and How would sentient non-human life acclimated to space look like? The latter of the two is the one i went for in my example but feel free to answer either or both of these questions in as much or little detail as you like. All help is valued and please go ahead and let all your creative ideas, plausible or not, out. Make your answer as fantastic or scientific as you want because i am interested in both.
