Octopia Octopuses
To use the classic Mad Scientist trope: it seemed a good idea at the time. It always does, doesn’t it? Then again, if it was a bad idea then most people wouldn’t try it, by definition.
Anyway, when researchers discovered that octopuses (don’t start) were busily creating cities — in the sense that video games create cities, which means that there’s about a dozen or so of them vaguely wandering around each other amid a somewhat sketchy amount of infrastructure — most people said “Huh.” A few said “That’s interesting.” And one said “A-ha! This sounds like it will be the perfect place to test out my Neuro-Physio Octopode Mutation Serum! Mwhah bah hah hah hahh!!!!!” Because of course.
