In this picture it looks more like an alien from an old movie.
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

Yes.  You can see the beak in the middle.  The tentacles appear to be folded back around the body.  Vampyroteuthis also has webbing between the tentacles.  Unusual for squid.

It's Friday.  Maybe this week's cephalopod can be used to open this thing:

That is clearly the offspring of a unholy union of a cephalopod with an albino sperm whale.
I call you Moby Squid.

This week, itty bitty (very itty bitty) squidlings...



There's virtually no depth of field, which means this is an extreme close up and those guys are really small.
