   I was kind of being facetious as obviously whatever they   
   are they wouldn't refer to themselves as "Sea Devils"...   
   BUT, to us [in-universe] they are "Sea Devils" as that's   
   what they have always been called... and we are not all   
   biology professors.   
      
   Homo Aqua just sounds stupid.
