		These octopusÕ were greatly exaggerated in size and tendency to attack man, for that is practically nonexistent; as the blue ringed octopus is one of few species with strong enough venom to even kill a human, it does not happen very often (Dozier).

		An octopus will also use its ability to change color to reflect different moods such as white for fear, red when it is angry, and brown being the neutral color which you would most often see an octopus as (Guerrini).
