Octopuses are some of the most antisocial, unfriendly animals alive. 

Meet Fishlix and Loctopus

Also gonna include an anon’s ask since they had something in the same subject of yours

Anonymous said to artsyorangeykay:Oh my gosh there are so many octopus things that can apply to him. Like for one, they do regenerate limbs, and even the 7 foot octos can squeeze through a hole four inches across to “infiltrate” the place. They are super smart and can solve rubix cubes. Imagine how that genius translates to him. Also when nervous or stressed out they will actually chew on their tentacles (aka he chews his nails). And soooo much more. God I love octopus~

That is honestly terrifying to think about as well as ridiculously funny, but to be honest I don’t think he can squish quite as easily through the way a real octopus could because of the fact that even as a mermaid he still has a human torso with all those human bones and ligaments and tissue that can’t squish and squeeze so freely like an octopus. I’d concede though that AS A LOCTOPUS and not a human, he’d be able to dislocate his bones without much pain and contort however he can or needs to to get through an obstacle, but only however much that human portion can physically squeeze through, since human bodies aren’t built like octopus bodies. So, less like an octopus and more like a cat i guess?

And to the anon, I am so on board with him chewing on his nails when he’s stressed and no one’s looking, fuck yes sign me the fuck up.

So checklist to myself:
