Octupuses are seriously cool.

That's interesting - a series of limbs that bypass the brain entirely and coordinate with each other for locomotion and responding to things. I wonder what, if any, control the brain has over those things if this is the right model.

Squids are the most alien things we'll never be able to talk to. Lovecraft was onto something when he decided to go with tentacles.
