So ok glidingsquids are the people made from the element steam and their deal is their mantles are full of air and it lets them float. They have to walk by pulling themselves along like mobile balloons so they usually slow. They can expel air hard through their little jets and go soaring real fast but it's hard to stop.

So if you have a race of people who can go zooming at high speeds on command, and have lots of strong, capable arms, why not just give them a lance and make them an un-mounted lancer?

And that's how glidingsquids do.
