devilfish
Eight-armed sea creature
Devilfish is a name applied to various sea creatures considered dangerous, fearsome, or demonic-looking.
It most commonly refers to large rays—especially the manta ray and other species with wing-like fins and horn-shaped head projections.
The octopus is also called devilfish in some regions, as is the gray whale among whalers.
