That would be the well-known decapuss…
But oh, that magic feeling,
Nowhere to go,

From the article liked in the originating post:

"This is the first and only known vampyropod to possess 10 functional appendages," said study author Christopher Whalen

AND

"Researchers have named the previously unknown species Syllipsimopodi bideni after US President Joe Biden."

Translation: the only known fossil of an octopus birth defect and they name it after Joe Biden.  :smt044 :smt044 :smt044
