There’s no “may” about it. Each octopus arm has its own little processing center to handle its unique movements, it’s called the ganglia.
Just like the butt brain in a t rex to manage walking. I see.

Octopodes.
I should memorize the video

i can do you one better: language doesn’t have rules, if it sounds good it’s valid, who cares
at this point i just spite everyone and call them something like “octopodii” or “octopiuses”
Octopadeus?
Octopussies

Octopodes nuts?
I wish octopuses lived longer. I’d have an octopus friend.
I want to hug an octopus on molly, better if they share
Octopuses are really good at doing heroin because they have lots of arms to choose from.
Speaking as an Australian….
