Actually the plural is octopoda and they don't live on trees, nor do they party that hard

Octopuses, octopi, or octopodes is acceptable. Never heard of octopoda.

It's actually hexadecapus for a pair of them, and so on.

I have never heard of octopodes. Octopoda is the original Greek plural. I don't think it's just in English though

I just realized that the whole conversation was in English. I should of assumed that includes that word, too. How stupid of me
