eight arms
Octopus appendage count
Eight arms describes the limb count of octopuses and certain other cephalopods, distinguishing them from ten-armed squid.
The phrase appears in marine biology, children's books, and casual descriptions: The octopus wrapped its eight arms around the jar.
It sometimes evokes the creature's alien appearance or multitasking ability: She needed eight arms to manage all those kids.
