This one is based off a blue ringed octopus, who is found in the rocky waters just off the coast of Australia, and is one of the most toxic marine animals in the world. :3

More info:
At rest, these octopi usually just have dark brown spots, but when startled, their skin produces a blue pigment to try and scare away or confuse predators. They have the same kind of toxin as a puffer fish, but it is thousands of times more potent. :3

Its also about tha average size of a grown human's thumb-nail
(This may be wrong, but as far as I remember -) One dose of its toxin is enough to kill ten adult male humans.
