I've only got my Google Ph.D. in cephalopods, but scientists say they are so smart because they do have a central brain as well as lots of neurons in their arms. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-mind-of-an-octopus/ They are just really cool. They can reflexively change color to blend into their environment, change their skin shape, they have incredibly complex eyes that can see polarized light, and their arms can move both independently and in unison. They can apparently recognize different people, squeeze through the smallest of holes, walk on land, and mimic other animals.

Tom Gorman posted:yeah but all that fancy evolution is just to defend themselves from crabs They hunt crabs. That stuff is to defend them from seals, sharks, and other animals big enough to eat them.

Tom Gorman posted:yeah maybe tiny bitchmade crabs. not swole rear end Kali Muscle crabs from the primeval depths with powerful crab hands. Yeah, I'm sure they'd be as afraid of those crabs. I mean, it's not like octopuses have been known to eat sharks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q36_8s5z6S8
