a three-hearted alien wearing a tasteful disguise as ocean wildlife
means A soft-bodied sea creature with eight arms, a bulbous head, and a famously clever brain, found in oceans worldwide.
from From Greek 'oktopous,' literally 'eight-foot' — 'okto' (eight) plus 'pous' (foot), a cousin of the Latin 'pes' and English 'foot.' The much-debated plural 'octopi' is a well-meaning mistake: it slaps a Latin ending onto a Greek word. Sticklers prefer 'octopuses,' while the truly devoted reach for the Greek-faithful 'octopodes.'
