The Villain of the Ocean Depths. The lightning-change artist of the deep, and usually considered the villain, is the octopus. It tucks its soft body away in some coral rock cavern and hangs out its eight tentacles like fish- ing lines to drag in its prey, hooking the crabs and crawfish that amble by. The arms are lined with hundreds of little vacuum cups that not only hold the victim firmly, but help to rend it and prepare it for the comparatively small beak-like mouth between the tentacles. When in repose the octopus is of a gray, ghost-like color, but when in ac- tion its color changes fantastically from a dark brown to red, and even a dark purple when it is infuriated.
