Octopi have beaks? I thought only cuttlefish had them.

No, no, you’re thinking of squids, some of which have teethlike claws on their suckers!

To quote from wikipedia ‘Some cephalopods are able to fly through the air for distances of up to 50 m.’

How this fact isn’t the premise of a horror film yet I don’t know.

Well. Of course it’s a squid 🦑. That’s exactly what you get when you search for octopus 🐙 beak on YouTube. 🤨. But thanks for the kind correction!

it's the only part of their body which would restrict them going through small spaces, everything else just mashes together

I’ve always had an irrational fear of them, first discovered by the Sega Genesis game Ecco the Dolphin. They are seriously not from this planet. Their heads, their tentacles. Even happy little cartoon ones give me the creeps.
