Octopodidea

The mimic octopus ( //Thaumoctopus Mimicus// ) is 2 feet (60cm) in length and found in the indo-pacific region. Being from the family Octopodidea these creatures have three hearts, eight arms, a parrot-like beak, and a fleshy mantel. This may sound like an alien or monster but in reality this is the normal body structure of an octopus. Some of the creatures from this family include the blue ringed octopus, blanket octopus, giant octopus, umbrella octopus, and of course the mimic octopus. This octopus is called what it is because of what it does best, mimicking other creatures. Normally when undisturbed it moves an acts like any other octopus. By pulling itself along with its tentacles, or swimming by using jet propulsion. It stops only to rest or snap up small crustaceans, for that is what it eats. But if in danger which it keeps a lookout for by using its big eyes it mimics one of the fifth-teen different creatures it can mimic by contorting its arms and body. As well as altering it behavior. If that fails it inks its attacker and darts away.
