In the alternate world (which almost the entirety of the show takes place in)
of **Super Dimension Century Orguss** , everyone has 2 "tentacles" that come
out of their heads. Aside from the occasional using them to move objects or
press buttons, what's their purpose?

What are the "tentacles" coming out of people's heads?


After Kei comes to, he finds out that the Earth he knows has been fractured
into many different realities, a majority of the of the planet being
controlled by 3 main powers: the Emaan, the Terram, and the Mu.

The Emaan are nearly identical to humans, except for prehensile antenna-like
tendrils that come out from the backs of their necks. Emaan males have one,
while females have two. They seems to respond and move based on the emotions
of the host (like cat ears or dog tails). These tendrils don't exert enough
power to actually be able to move or lift heavy objects, so it's assumed that
to be some evolutionary artifact. It's mentioned that in the series Emaan
acting as spies in Terram have these surgically removed.

The Terram are probably closely related to the humans of Kei's world. The Mu
are a robotic race, they were created to serve their creator, but later turned
on them and wiped them out.
