Blue Blood: Uses copper-based hemocyanin to transport oxygen, perfect for cold, low-oxygen environments.
Master of Disguise: Changes color, texture, and even shape in milliseconds using chromatophores, iridophores, and leucophores.
Tool Users: Known to carry shells for shelter and use rocks to barricade their dens.
⚠️ Fun Facts:
