Best Answer

-- Vampyroteuthis infernalis, "the vampire squid from hell," got its name from its most obvious characteristics. It is typically a deep red, but some have been found which are nearly black. Its arms are lined with hooks instead of suckers. Its arms are attached, much like an octopus, and when its arms are outstretched this resembles a cape (much like Vampires are said to wear). It can throw this cape over it's body so it is just a mass of arm hooks, frightening off potential predators. --
