The Mighty Mimic Octopus

It was only a matter of time until I paid tribute to the GREATEST CREATURE ON THE PLANET!

This octopus is able to copy the physical likeness and movement of more than fifteen different species, including sea snakes, lionfish, flatfish, brittle stars, giant crabs, sea shells, stingrays, jellyfish, sea anemones, and mantis shrimp. It accomplishes this by contorting its body and arms, and changing color. -Wiki

As if I needed another reason to be awestruck by this magical creature, it’s probably smart enough to mercilessly beat me in various spatial thinking tasks.
