Thanks for all the fish, man?

I have a question regarding allowable skills for the different flora and fauna.  While understandably, no hands means that the Two-Fisted skill is not allowed, but if it has tentacles...  It first came up when I was putting together a Lurker list with some fishmen. 

1) Can I give a fishman the Martial Arts skill?
2) Can Humanoids (in general) take the Martial Arts skill?
3) Can Beasts take the Martial Arts skill?

The description of the various species indicates whether equipment is allowable, but generally not whether skills are allowed.  Not trying to be a Strange Aeons munchkin, just wondering.

Thanks for any and all assistance.

1 and 2 and 3. No. The model must be Unarmed.

Skill can be purchased for all Lurkers as long as they meet the requirements.

Thanks for the clarification on what constitutes a weapon versus unarmed.  I get it.

As a followup, can they take the Two-Fisted skill?  It does not seem to limit usage to specific weapons.

Wait, now I am confused....   

Are you saying that to take the martial artist skill the figure cannot take any weapons?  And if so, does the figure *really have to* take a weapon then?

If not, what are you saying?
