Say hello to Cheddar the common octopus! Thanks to her chromatophores, she can hide in plain sight or put on a brilliant display. Find Cheddar in our Tropical Pacific Gallery during your next visit. 🧀

Endless Ocean, Nintendo Wii

did you know...? this is the only place in the game where you can see the spiny lobster's walking animation!

the model and animation for it were taken from the everblue series, where they did walk around... but in endless ocean, they made them stationary. for some reason

Common Octopus

The oceanic common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) lives in tropical, subtropical, and temperate waters throughout the world. They have three hearts, and they can change their coloration to match their environment. As one of the most studied marine species, these octopuses have demonstrated that they can navigate mazes, open jars, and raid lobster traps.

So what are YOU doing to procrastinate today? I'm looking up gifs of octopuses walking to find one that's a match for how I visualize my tentacle aliens parading down the spaceship hallways.

("It's not a shambling, dragging-their-bodies kind of walk; they call themselves Strongarms for a reason. Oh, this one's pretty close. Maybe that cartoon...")
