Today's wet beast is: Blanket Octopus
Olive's Wet Beast Fact: these venomous beauties range drastically in size, with the males around the size of a walnut, and the females up to 6 feet long. Personally, I think they look more like Cinderella's torn up dress than they do a blanket, but whatever.
They're anglerfish which have adapted to using their pectoral fins as legs, using them to walk on the seafloor instead of swimming!
I POSTED THE GIF AND SOMEBODY SAID IT NEEDS THE KOTH THEME OVER IT AND I'M FUCKING WHEEZING HOLY SHIT
