The name "rocktopi" has to go.
A) They have six legs, not eight. Use almost any insect instead. Rockroach? B) Reminds me of Rock Lobster. Peppy '80s hit does exactly jive with this tale.

I know you like to cook as indicated by your ancestor fin soup recipe. Are you any good with desserts? A little Rocktopi pie? (Now that wouldnt have even be a possiblilty if werent for Rocktopi would it?)

has to stay.  That is the name of several of my fantasy teams and it is my username on several sites!  I hereby form a political action committee to aid Sigler in keeping the name Rocktopi.

Re: The name "rocktopi" has to go.
or else they'd probably have to be sextopi if the basis for naming is the number of legs rather than what the legs are made of. Sextopi? That's just wrong. We just went from scary to some of that bestiality that n8man is so fond of. (Not judging; just saying...)

Re: The name "rocktopi" has to go.

since Rocktoπ are gelatinous I would make a bavarois out of them... Serve them with a some nuts or a caramel sauce... I mean everybody knows Rocktoπ, nuts and caramel (because of the "earthy" flavour that nuts) have is a great combination... and actually I am a professional chef in a kitchen not much different than the one Gordon Ramsay owns (you know the guy from hell's kitchen).

When you first heard "Rocktopi" did it automatically bring back fond memories of the original Zelda's Octorocs?

Id really like to know what species they really are and if they still exist in the rookieverse

Re: The name "rocktopi" has to go.
the Dromedary or Bactrian-based sauce? I hear one is clear while the other is creamy. I think either would go well with pasta and a bowl of good fin soup.

Re: The name "rocktopi" has to go.

rocktopi has to stay, it evokes the best mental image of what these creatures look like.

 

rock roach would be even more incorrect, since they neither have chitinous exoskeletons nor jointed legs. at least as rocktopi it connotates an invertebrate with tentacles.

 

and BTW- was i the only one who didn't get the B52s reference? i had to wikipedia it. "rock lobster" in my mind means Stephen King and the Gunslinger along the beach with the doors.
