Exoskeletons are also scary both for octopii and us gunther-fear

I have to think this would be the most terrifying for a cephalopod, even nautiluses are contained within a shell, but aren't entirely encased. An exoskeletonned octopus would be like a knight cursed to never remove its armor.. kinda cool

After i posted i realised like lobsters and stuff coud feasibly meet an octopus, so they are probably familiar. Still terrifying though, if lobster was like human size
