Let's play.... NAME THAT BIZARRE CEPHALOPOD!!!!

[Melissa]

Chthulu loves me, this I know
Because the high priest tells me so.
He won't eat me, no, not yet.
He's our lord, all dank and wet.

Someone said this when I ordered a plush Chthulu right after my sister told us she was pregnant. My nephew was very afraid of that doll.

Another easy fake one.

Huge.

Lots of tentacles.

No beak, just teeth.

No suckers on the tentacles.

Nick,

Sounds like the "Deep Rising" beastie, to me.

Thanks for ending the misery.

Should've seen that when I was scouring the ITIS. I learned a lot about all kinds of other cephs, so I should probably thank you. Right after I burn you in effigy.

Whats a sarlacc?

Seen Return of the Jedi? Big thing living in a pit in the desert. Although, you could argue that it didn't really have teeth.

A ceph that is not a squid, not a cuttlefish, not an octopus, but something in between.....

Steve, what was the ceph with no eye lens?

 

[DocidicusGigas]

Vampyroteuthis Infernalis

The Vampire Squid From Hell.

Oh, and you'll like the attatchment...

LOL

... not quite the mother of all squid. Some might say the arms are pointing in the wrong direction ... and that they should be wrapped around his neck .... but I'll stay out of the politics.

Nice tie.

 

[DocidicusGigas]

Again, a non existent cephlapod. I'm looking for its specific name....

Is a mean drunk beer.gif icon_arrow.gif yelling.gif
Lives in an apartment with another octopus tentacle1.gif tentacle2.gif

When drinks get angry eyebrows.

One clue, it too is obvious.

This ceph has proportionally the largest eyes of any animal in the world.
