I knew there’s a flying squid that likes to post memes though
If a squid swimming near the surface is spooked by a predator or a boat, it streamlines into a torpedo shape and fires itself out of the water. At the same time, it splays its eight tentacles into a flat, fan-like pattern in front of its face – some breeds even exude mucus to fill in the spaces, creating a unified, kite-like surface. It also flares a pair of fins near its rear end and – voilà – the squid becomes a living, breathing jet.
Are you one of the species that rips theirs off and hucks it at the female to prevent being eaten?
Maybe I’m thinking of an octopus…
I don’t know what you’re thinking of, but it’s none of us higher molluscs.

Apparently I’ve been misled as the octopus I was thinking of, the argonaut, doesn’t actually have a detachable hectocotylus.
Zefrank lied to me.
