"Before my eyes was a horrible monster, worthy to figure in the legends of the marvellous. . . . Its eight arms, or rather feet, fixed to its head . . . were twice as long as its body, and were twisted like the furies' hair."

—Jules Verne, *Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea*, trans. Lewis

「在我眼前的可怕怪物，真是足以列入奇闻传说里面呢…脑袋上长的与其说是八只胳膊，倒不如说是八只脚…有它身躯的两倍长，像疯婆子的头发那样乱舞。」

～朱尔·凡尔纳，《海底两万里》
