Octopus
The Octopus is an mollusk, and a cephalopod. It belongs to the phylum Mollusca, and lives underwater. It has tentacles with suckers on them, for attachment to rocks and to prey. To move, it shoots a jet of water out of its body, thrusting it through the water. When in danger, it can eject a cloud of ink to confuse its potential predator and make a quick escape.
Octupi are well known for their intelligence and pro-liberal leanings, often siding with pro-abortion and pro-immigration campaigns. This has made them unpopular foodstuffs in the southern states of America where it is feared that their beliefs can leach into the blood stream. To prevent this it is recomended that hot wax is dripped into the mouth before eating as wax acts as a barrier.
