T is for Tentacles

[nullalux]

Today is 22 December, also known as Cephalopodmas. Have a Gibbous Cephalopodmas from Cephalopod Tea Party, and may it be filled with terror and tentacles! You might want to get your special squamate something fetid.

On the thirteenth day of Cephalopodmas,
Cthulhu gave to me
Thirteen Hapalochlaena,
Twelve ink sacs squirting,
Eleven Architeuthis,
Ten ammonites,
Nine tentacles strangling,
Vampyroteuthis infernalis,
Seven photophores a-flashing,
Six arms a-flaying,
Grim-pote-u-thiiiiis,
Four snapping beaks,
Three suckers,
Two cuttlefish,
And Histioteuthis heteropsis.

Vampyroteuthis infernalis is my favorite octopus of all! They have a special defense mechanism -- instead of shooting ink like octopodi who live in lit environments, the Vampyroteuthis squirts bioluminescent mucus from the ends of its tentacles!
