The Back Story:
Gigantic Octopus
For hundreds of years, sailors from all over the world have regularly made reports of a mythical creature known as the giant octopus. There is enough variability in the reports to suggest more than two species, especially since these reports come from across the globe, and in nature it is rare for a single species to be so widespread.
These legends cast giant octopuses as supernatural sea monsters, or as forms taken by shape shifting vengeful sea gods. Other recorded sightings cast gigantic octopus as natural creatures of the sea.
