Weird Villain Ideas 2 - Absorbing/Draining Octopus Hybrid
3 years ago
This one is a bit out there for me, but maybe not. It depends if you've read Urala.
Anyway, the idea came courtesy of Caudle sharing a pic of his lovely elegator, Pachy, on Twitter and thinking back to some of his audio plays - that said, go give him all sorts of love, because that bat is magnificent and has gotten me comfortable with exploring my own interests through his many, many audio dramas and writings. And he's just a lovely bat as well.
So, the idea is that the villain here loves to coil with all eight of their legs, delighting in how his prey squirms and writhes and fights against the hundreds upon hundreds of suckers on each of his legs, crooning at them all the while. And then, they feel a little sting, tiny teeth lining those suckers bite into the skin and dose them with venom. The suckers then begin to, well, suck out their energy, the octopus moans and croons and hugs their prey close, entwining fingers in their hair as they boast of how tasty they are as they drain their prey to a husk and then encase them in their legs and bring them toward their mouth - positioned beneath their body, in the middle of their legs, like an actual octopus - and eat. Alternatively, they keep going and encase their prey in their legs, absorbing them through the suckers.
As for a bit of hypno fun ... I think playing on a bit of the siren idea might be fun. That or have them use a mix of the swaying motion of their legs and the camouphlage ability of octopi to make rippling colors play along their skin. A full body hypno screen, calling you into their embrace.
