Your weekly sunday post!  Decided to go back and do the “build your own mermaid” requests since it will be a little bit before I get to that part of the comic. This one is for @cassowary-king :) Larger Pacific striped octopuses are really really something. They break a few rules from standard octopus behavior, they are known to be more social, and they don’t die off after mating and giving birth, or cannibalize each other. They may mate up to several times!  In the world of Tidal Arch, they are rarely seen, but generally known to be much more laid back than their other octo-cousins, and if you are lucky to be neighbors with one, he might just invite you over for a backyard picnic!
