Mimic Octopus, Extreme Mimicking

Mimic octopus is the only known animal that can imitate a diverse range of life forms and non-living objects to elude its predators. They are extremely capable of blending with their environments to take shape and color of the rocks and corals. Mimic octopus uses a pigment sac known as chromatophores to take the skin color and texture of its nearby environment. Some of the common animals the mimic octopus imitates are lion fish, sea snake, jellyfish and flatfish. The animal with this superpower is widely available in the western and central Indo-Pacific.
