It’s at the largest like a dog or 8 year old, but more likely i think it’s the size of a small cat or fat salamander (they make some of those cbelgium).

what the disturbance is “cbelgium”?
Well obviously I don’t know my slurs bc if you asked me why to censor that I’d wonder if it wonder if I was accidentally making fun of clowns. (pretty sure its actually is a slur)
c h o n k y as in there are some big salamanders.

So I think most people here think that disturbance is some sort of an amphibian-like creature

Apparently it is a slur for referring to white people (when you remove the initial c).

Now, how smart is disturbance? Is it near awakening stage already?
It’s standing in a reflective puddle of water, so it must live on land at least some of the time.

I mean, if it lived fully underwater then it couldn’t make an industrial civilization.

You have enlightened me with your reasoning
The reason I thought it was water is because it also looked to be floating? (3 out of 6 legs are not touching the ground)

But at the same time there are bubbles in the “air” then…
I thought there was a waterfall behind them and it was getting droplets in the air, but it could be rain… or bubbles.

So now we need to discuss if these are droplets or bubbles. As per me: IDK
I always thought of the disturbance, in this picture at least, as being about as smart as crows or octopi or chimps or something. Like, it’s big brain, it could use a tool if it wanted to.

Wouldn’t it need better “hands” to properly manipulate limbs tho?
A: those tendrils look reasonably grippy
2: you could say the same about octopi and crows
Three: it has a few million years to evolve them before awakening stage
IV: I needed a forth bullet point to get through all my bullet point styles

Honestly what is the “least advanced” of a limb needed to reasonably build an advanced civilization? What is the bare minimum?

That’s a fun idea. I’d say, no manipulators needed. If you are extremely cooperative, and able to build things larger than you’d expect, you can cooperate and use whole limbs or bodies to manipulate things. I wouldn’t expect this, not because it’s not possible, but because it’s not an advantage to being able to waste 12 of your friends time and calories pushing around sticks in a way that might invent fire, especially if messing around doesn’t get you ranged weapons that scale in quality almost directly with how much you mess around (random stuff → well chosen rock → throwing stick → spears/darts → atlatls → whole tech tree).

Atlantis? A underwater civ?
Not atlantis, atlatl. Spear-thrower - Wikipedia
Althought is possible that a lot of species might not invent ranged weaponry until they reach the point of gunpowder weaponry like cannons.
