The Octopus should hide when he is out, they are a favorite snack of eels. Could be a good reason for an ink squirt and poof
That sounds like a pretty cool idea actually. Taking that idea one step further, I think it would look pretty cool to see the eel and octopus tangle with each other, especially at night. No blood, guts, or anything violent like that. Just a little wrestling match, sort of like a miniature version of those old sailing stories where the giant squids attacked sperm whales. Then again, I can just imagine the collision detection nightmare that would cause poor Jim to have.
