#oh lemme check what the octopuses drop for a food headcanon

[maranull]

I'm sorry. I'm checking some materials more closely for a headcanon and...

Land octopuses eat humans in order to bear young, and theirs is the blood that runs through these ovaries. (x)

????? They need to eat humans?? To have kids??? This is so out of left field. What.

??????

What the hell kinda creatures are they? Weird ass octopuses that have been preying on humans long and successful enough to evolve into basing their freaking reproduction on them??

Hello? Why? And more importantly, how? Fromsoft, gimme your evolutionary biology notes about the Lands Between right now.
