~ Hedwig and the Angry Inch
The Origin of Love
I love that song. If you haven't heard it before, do yourself the favor of giving it a listen. It also might help explain today's Horb (horrible balloons for terrible children) -- this Quadropus.
One of the lesser known abilities of an octopus is to split itself into two smaller equal quadropi. The longer these halves are apart, the stronger the draw is for them to rejoin - so in the rare instance where either of the two is trapped or killed, a single quadropus remains.
Quadropus are extremely aggressive and territorial and have been known to smother and crush other fish and mammals in an attempt to create a surrogate partner. It is the oceanic equivalent of face-hugger aliens as it travels the ocean looking for it's lost half.
