"Touch of the Kraken?"
Byron returned to his senses and swallowed reflexively, still mulling over the name.
Blunt and to the point: the thing soaking in the jar before him was an incomplete tentacle of the Indescribable being known as the "Kraken."
As a former chef with a penchant for tentacles, no one understood them better than Byron.
It is said that an octopus boasts three hearts and nine brains.
Setting aside the three hearts, its nine brains were distributed between its head and its eight tentacles. It possessed roughly 500 million neurons in total. The main brain accounted for 40%, with the remainder dispersed among the auxiliary brains. The auxiliary brains within an octopus's tentacles function independently, without interfering with one another. Even when severed, the tentacles of an ordinary octopus can remain active for a period, capable of sensing their surroundings.
For an Indescribable being, this incomplete tentacle could be considered a lesser avatar of it.
