October - December 2022

In remote regions of our world lives a rare species of wildlife that remains a mystery to science. The Oaktopus is quite rare and can only be seen in its true form at full moon. Just as the moon affects the tides, this beautiful, chaotic creature is swayed by its patterns as well. It is usually found in solitary, as its thrashing limbs kill everything in its vicinity. During this monthly frenzy, the Oaktopus sheds its leaves, and the wind carries them to the ocean, where they take the form of a fish. On the rare occasion that these fish are taken by predatory birds, the decomposing remains result in a new Oaktopus sapling taking root in the soil.
