Exoskeletons are also scary both for octopii and us gunther-fear

I have to think this would be the most terrifying for a cephalopod, even nautiluses are contained within a shell, but aren't entirely encased. An exoskeletonned octopus would be like a knight cursed to never remove its armor.. kinda cool

After i posted i realised like lobsters and stuff coud feasibly meet an octopus, so they are probably familiar. Still terrifying though, if lobster was like human size

oo true horror, what if a nautilus's shell just kept growing, encasing the beast gradually and it becomes more and more snakelike and thin to labyrinth (verb) through its prison

What if galaxy actually ever-growing nautilus shell, and world eater snake is nautilus itself :things to ponder in cave:

But if you have been in large administrative building you did do that, kinda sorta
