Ever wonder what an octopus feels like? Well, they’re slightly squishy, but also quite strong and muscley. They also somehow feel velvety and slippery at the same time. Their suction cups are really strong and grippy!

It has a soft body, and its shell has been reduced to two small plates where its head muscles anchor, plus a powerful, parrot-like beak.
