Colonel Kitchener Utensil
A Dectopus – a distant relation of the modern day Octopus – with ten legs. Unlike Octopuses (or Octopi), Dectopuses (or Dectopi, if you want to be la-di-da about it) learned to breathe out of the water.
Story Role
Colonel Utensil is the commander of the Infinity Border Guard patrolling the Sea of Tranquillity that encircles Infinity. The Colonel is rightly proud of his crack team of Infinity defenders, The Squid Squad. He takes his job very seriously and likes everything to run smoothly.

Octopuses are among the smartest invertebrates. Real octopuses can solve puzzles, escape tanks and recognise individual humans.
Cephalopods can change colour instantly. Squid and octopuses use specialised skin cells called chromatophores to camouflage themselves.
Some squid glow in the dark. Deep sea squid often produce light through bioluminescence.
