 | | Orders Sepiida Sepiolida Spirulida Teuthida Octopoda Vampyromorphida Nautilida The Cephalopods (head-foot) are the mollusk class Cephalopoda characterized by bilateral body symmetry, a prominent head, and a modification of the mollusk foot, a muscular hydrostat, into the form of arms or tentacles. | | | However, the optic lobes perform much of the visual processing and can be functionally considered to be a part of the brain. | | | The esophagus (also spelled oesophagus/Å“sophagus), or gullet is the muscular tube in vertebrates through which ingested food passes from the mouth area to the stomach. |

| | Upto11.net - Wikipedia Article for Coleoidea |
| | Unlike its sister group the Nautiloidea, which has a rigid outer shell for protection, the coleoids have at most an internal bone or shell that is used for buoyancy or support. | | | The superorder Decapodiformes has arm pair IV modified into long tentacles with suckers generally only on the club-shaped distal end. | | | Superorder Octopodiformes has modifications to arm pair II; it is significantly reduced and used only as a sensory filament in the Vampyromorphida, while Octopoda species have totally lost that arm pair. |

| | Subsequent sightings of it showed two additional arms were discovered tucking into pockets. | | | It is currently, the only animal in the order Vampyromorphida, an order "in between" octopus and squid, mainly due to the addition of sensory filaments believed to be used for finding food in the deep sea. |

| | Long Sunday: The Vampire Squid from Hell is Coming |
| | What is important for Flusser in the juxtaposition of humans and vampyromorphida is that it's a fleeting painting, traces of which only exist in the memory of those who saw it. | | | First move past the incomprehensible strangeness of the monsters - by claiming that Vampyromorphida can have art too, for example - and then return to our world from their position. | | | Without any biological evidence, of course, I imagine it as a kind of abstract expressionism in motion, maybe like the movies of Stan Brakhage. |

| | Vampire Squid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As a phylogenetic relic it is the only surviving member of its order, first described and mistakenly identified as an octopus in 1903 by German teuthologist Carl Chun. | | | Unique retractile sensory filaments justify the Vampire Squid's placement in its own order: Vampyromorphida (formerly Vampyromorpha), sharing similarities with both squid and octopuses. |

| | Vampire Squid, Vampyroteuthis infernalis @ MarineBio.org |
| | The Vampire squid, which is not technically a true squid, is named for its blue eyes, reddish-brown skin, and webbing between the arms. | | | The Vampire squid, Vampyroteuthis infernalis, which translates to "vampire squid from Hell", is the only known member of the Order Vampyromorphida, the seventh order in the Class Cephalopoda and combines features from both octopodiformes and decapodiformes suggesting it may represent an ancestral line between the two groups (Robison et al. |

| | It has eight tentacled arms like squids and octopuses, but merits its own order, Vampyromorphida, because of its extra pair of sensory appendages. | | | But this creature is neither vampire nor squid. |
