*sfffhhhh* His nose sniffed several times. Then his other nose. Each of his many olfactory organs absorbed countless particles. All 240 of his tentacles- 6 from each of his 40 sides- could essentially see, hear, feel, taste, and smell.

And eat. And impregnate. And murder.

He smelled Taliya. She smelled like she was 20, but then looked like she was younger. She was in heat. She was going to drown. She didn't even realize her body was in motion until it was too late.

"eYA" She cried out as soon as her body hit the ground. Looking to her ankle, she gasped at the sight of a tentacle, then screamed in fear and pain as she was dragged across sand and coral, getting sliced up and then absorbed by a gelatinous monster that blended in with the dark ocean. It was translucent, but could provide oxygen within itself, like an expectant mother, and Taliya was its new baby. Or meal.
