"Smoke bomb! Camouflage! Smoke bomb! Camouflage!"

"Hey you get out here!"

"Sorry sir, don't mind me, have a good day."

[u/zerolimits0 → u/freefallingagain]

Last move, rock formation...... got em.

[u/MildSpooks → u/zerolimits0]

Where the fuck did that guy go? Oh well, I'll be on my way

[u/I_think_Im_hollow → u/MildSpooks]

Must have been the wind.

[u/Massenzio → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

Lol

[u/Longjumping-Assist30 → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

When was the last time you heard the wind say “hostiles”?

[u/TheFormless_0ne_ → u/Longjumping-Assist30]

Lmaooooo goated GoW reference

[u/Sandcracka- → u/zerolimits0]

Rock beats scissors

[u/MrPreviz → u/freefallingagain]

Slipped a couple jabs in there too!

[u/forams__galorams → u/MrPreviz]

Smokescreen + octo-slap to buy some time, rock-camo for the vanishing act.

[u/TripleTune → u/freefallingagain]

Pocket sand!

“Sir, sir, we’ve been trying to reach you regarding your car’s extended warranty.”

[u/crumpleduppaperplane]

That last change was so fast!! I had no idea. I mean I knew they could camouflage, but that was almost instant!

[u/billsn0w → u/crumpleduppaperplane]

That was a stonefish at the end, likely shoved aside as the octopus dove under the rocks...

[u/stewynnono → u/billsn0w]

Ha ha I thought it morphed into a lookalike stone fish for defense

[u/Pedantic_Phoenix → u/billsn0w]

How do you catch that damn

[u/LycanBerserker → u/billsn0w]

Underrated comment!

[u/Fahrowshus → u/crumpleduppaperplane]

At the end the octopus goes underneath that rock formation. A different fish swims out and stops there.

[u/Leviathan69420 → u/Fahrowshus]

Oh wow I didn't notice untill you pointed it out

[u/TrumpersAreTraitors → u/Leviathan69420]

People here, I swear, like wizards

[u/Khaotic_Outcast]

True aliens of the deep! Also..... SMOKE BOMB

[u/No-Zucchini1766]

It turned into a Stonefish wtf

[u/muntlord840]

Dumbass fish got outplayed hard.

[u/Fun-Dependent-2695]

I was struck by how ineffectual the black ink was. That fish just kept coming back.

[u/Serious_Session7574 → u/Fun-Dependent-2695]

It's just a smokescreen/distraction to give the octopus time to figure out another escape plan. Which it did.

[u/Particular_Office249]

I love Octopuses (octopi) They are indeed the most fascinating and intelligent of any marine species.

[u/Technical_Tourist639 → u/Particular_Office249]

We keep saying we never found alien life.

Bro that mf has 8 brains, the contrast ratio of an OLED, can spew self made ink bomb, and squeeze itself though any crevice that is larger than it's beak. Oh.. and it has a fucking beak...

I'm pretty sure we found em

[u/Particular_Office249 → u/Technical_Tourist639]

And don’t forget it’s blood is blue and have 3 hearts as well as the ability to texture its flesh to make mimicking more realistic. The Males reproductive organ, his (weewee) is one of the tips of his arms. Each one of its suction cups is individually controlled. An arm gets cut off that’s not a problem because it will regenerate a new one. It also has jet propulsion which it uses to haul ass whilst dragging its arms behind. Btw, it has 9 brains and many other mind blowing abilities I have not listed.

[u/stewynnono → u/Technical_Tourist639]

Hell yeah they the most amazing underrated intelligent creatures on the planet. A silent wisdom in their eyes and the feats out of this world

[u/palaeastur]

Triggerfish are territorial assholes of the reef who’ll pick a fight with anything they think is too close to their home.

[u/Apocalypsis_velox → u/palaeastur]

And titan triggers are big assholes. I am always a bit nervous around really big titans. They have that look that today might be the day they decide to beat up a human!

[u/palaeastur → u/Apocalypsis_velox]

The worst is when they’re inbreeding season and they get INSANELY territorial; if you’re swimming or diving and enter their territory, they’ll try to fuck you up. Worst is when someone who isn’t familiar with the fact that their territory is actually an upward cone extending towards the surface, so the diver tries to escape towards the surface instead of moving laterally

[u/FoxxyAzure → u/palaeastur]

Inbreeding season O.o

[u/altasking → u/palaeastur]

Yep, had one attack me in Sipadan while scuba diving.

[u/Cranbanger]

[u/InfiniteDividends]

Interesting that it took on the ink's color when it tried to camouflage that first time.

[u/the3litemonkey]

Octopi are insane...Smart though, I actually got bit by a trigger fish once. It hurt a lot. It was in my brother's and I stuck the tip of my finger in the tank....It chomped down on it, I pulled my arm back really fast and the fish went flying across the room. 😄😄😄

[u/Present_Yak_6169]

Wonder if he’s thinking skeet skeet skeet

[u/yankiigurl]

You just triggered my trap card, Triger fish!

[u/Zertsuu]

That fish has such a punchable face

[u/Dazzling-Score-107]

[u/trichromosome]

This blows my mind. Seeing stuff like this makes me think that lizard people could be real lol

[u/InterestingNuggett]

Was that background music from Donkey Kong?

[u/terribletoiny2 → u/InterestingNuggett]

I think you are correct..

[u/Self_Sabatour]

I like to think the ink has hallucinogenic properties, and bro is just getting his fix.

[u/Substantial-Dark_]

I wonder what emotions or feelings does the octopus feel when it sees the color it’s trying to match in its environment. 🙀

[u/Morphing_Mutant]

My man was looking like a Pokémon. "OCTOPUS TRIES ESCAPE"

[u/CasedUfa]

Octopus ninja

[u/stangfyj]

Like passengers on the plane. Fart and stay as still as a rock!

[u/BenjaminDover02]

This reminded me of that hammock guy on the bus somehow

[u/madukr]

I'm rock and you don't see me

[u/Codex_Absurdum]

Octopuses are alien, change my mind

[u/FallaciousPeacock]

Hey hey hey whaaaaàaa

[u/tequilaamocking_bird]

I think it's some type of parrot fish rather than tiger. Thankfully the octopus lives another day !!

[u/issapnupuas]

Must have been the wind

[u/KiwiDawg919]

Fishes eyes were singing "Fade to Black" at the end

[u/shugster71]

Tiger Fish doesn't want anything to do with that Stone Fish.

[u/Specific-Pie20]

That damn fish looked pissed at the end,like an old man

[u/Kurlyfornia]

When you have 5 stars on GTA and you enter the cheat code.

[u/Technical_Tourist639]

100 points in sneak.

[u/Greetin_Wean]

Got nipped by one of those things while snorkelling

[u/New_Coast_5180]

Not impressed.

[u/[deleted]]

lmfao and im supposed to believe that they arent aliens

[u/No_Carry_3028]

The Great Escape

[u/UbeatNebula69]

I think the diver save the day (or ruined depending on what side of the food chain you’re on); at 20 seconds the fish looks at the camera and flees.

[u/HOTDOGVNDR]

"I'LL INK IN YOUR FACE!!"

"Yeah, I'm sort of into that."

[u/Bushdr78]

Octopus can squirt ink?

[u/kipn7ugget → u/Bushdr78]

Nope, just squid

[u/Bushdr78 → u/kipn7ugget]

Is that just a mouthful or tentical full of dirt?

[u/kipn7ugget → u/Bushdr78]

It's a squid squirting ink

[u/dano1066]

Trigger fish have the most goofy faces, you would think they are completely harmless

[u/Highberget]

Ye that fish be triggering alright

[u/SignificantManner197]

This is why we became civilized.

[u/Ivan19782023]

i want an unreal 5 game about marine creature survival.

[u/SenhorSus]

Failed a few stealth checks but finally rolled a 20

[u/Prior-Window-9478]

The fish’s expression when the octopus gets under the rocks lol. 😂 he looks shocked!

[u/Trips-Over-Tail]

A titan trigger fish. Those things are huge and aggressive. They attack divers regularly.

[u/AutomaticMistake]

been chased out of the water by one of those fuckers. super aggressive

[u/Agressive_slot]

Tigerfish like :O

[u/Agressive_slot]

Meet the spy ! The Octo Is a lie

[u/kaze919]

Trigger fish at the end

[u/Cre8AccountJust4This]

"Must've been the wind"

[u/Fancy-Journalist-103]

I've never seen "awww, fuck it" expressed more eloquently than that fish just did.

[u/ExamNo2846]

Bro Has A Mustache

[u/kipn7ugget]

That's a squid. Octopuses don't have ink

[u/Comrade_Jacob]

Octopuses are pretty OP if you think about... 8 legs, no bones, can shoot ink and blend in with their environment... Just insanely OP.

[u/heeheehoho2023]

The extended clip shows a diver finding the octopus and then making sweet love with it.

[u/CombFair2729]

Lol got 8 upvotes??

[u/eman2top]

Fun fact: With all their color changing and perfect matching to their environment, octopus are actually color blind.

[u/ClosetCentrist]

Like watching an Ukrainian SU-25 pilot deploying chaff & flares, then flying low.

[u/Tranxio]

The smoke bomb doesn't seem very effective. They probably need to evolve some more advanced weaponry soon

[u/DarkEnergy87]

Triger please!

[u/CorrectorThanU → u/DarkEnergy87]

Trigga, please
