Title text could be a parody of "When what to my wondering eyes should appear/but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer" from "A Visit from St. Nicholas" ('Twas the Night Before Christmas) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus's_reindeer#Eight_reindeer | Title text could be a parody of "When what to my wondering eyes should appear/but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer" from "A Visit from St. Nicholas" ('Twas the Night Before Christmas) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus's_reindeer#Eight_reindeer | ||

To pick nits, an octopus has eight arms and no tentacles. A squid has eight arms plus two tentacles. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.34.94|162.158.34.94]] 15:21, 23 December 2016 (UTC) | To pick nits, an octopus has eight arms and no tentacles.

Is the octopus tentacle comment adding anything? I believe octopodophobia is substantially rarer than arachnophobia (to the extent that it doesn't seem to have an official name); Cthulhu aside, I suspect a deer with octopus tentacles would mostly look weird (or comical) rather than scary. To most, I suspect octopus tentacles are only scary if you're on a ship being attacked by a kraken or if you're a diver and one is playfully tugging on your respirator. Of course, I speak as an arachnophobe who cringed when I saw this comic...

Fun bit of trivia: Loki is Sleipnir's ''mom.''[[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.47|108.162.246.47]] 19:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC) | Fun bit of trivia: Loki is Sleipnir's ''mom.''[[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.47|108.162.246.47]] 19:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC) | ||

Does Randall's repeating interest in spiders have any relevance here? --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.53|108.162.250.53]] 21:32, 23 December 2016 (UTC) | Does Randall's repeating interest in spiders have any relevance here? --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.53|108.162.250.53]] 21:32, 23 December 2016 (UTC) | ||

I think Randall screwed up with the title text. Spiders only have two (or, rarely, three) tarsal claws (See last line here: https://www.amnh.org/learn/biodiversity_counts/ident_help/Parts_Arthropods/male_spider.htm). So either BlackHat has been doing more agressive genetic engineering than you'd think or Randall screwed up!
