Screw that, cephalopods are monsters. Cuttlefish are almost literally tiny Cthulhus: they drive their prey insane (with a hypnotic moving chromatophore pattern) before devouring it.

And that's pretty freakin' rad. Nature is at least as strange and twisted as our deepest fears. It's a big amazing world.

Do you have a source handy for the mini-Cthulhu thing? I've never heard of cuttlefish actually mesmerizing their prey before.
