Muusoctopus

Muusoctopus is a cosmopolitan genus of deep-sea octopi from the family Enteroctopodidae. These are small to medium-sized octopuses which lack an ink sac.[2] Recent work has suggested that these octopuses originated in the North Atlantic and subsequently moved into the North Pacific while the species in the Southern Hemisphere are descended from multiple invasions from northern oceans.[3]

gollark: Well, I would hope so.
gollark: But JS uses double-precision floats for everything, which can represent up to 2^53-1 with no loss of precision, so it's fine***.
gollark: Date.now is *milliseconds* since the epoch, not seconds.
gollark: I mean, they do, but not full-color ones, just ASCII art.
gollark: Oh yes, it is horribly bloated, just not to the extent that things randomly ship pictures of Guy Fieri.
