1/3

Vicetopus can extend their tentacles a long way to help them capture Cerebrocrustaceans.

Vicetopus have enhanced strength, strong enough to crack a Cerebrocrustacean's shell by squeezing it.

Vicetopus' rubbery skin makes it somewhat resistant to a Cerebrocustacean's electric attacks.

Weaknesses

Despite its skin being resistant, Vicetopus is not immune to electricity.

Notable Vicetopus

• Vicetopus (the Nemetrix's DNA sample of a Vicetopus)

Etymology

Vicetopus's name is a portmanteau of the words 'vice' and 'octopus'.

Trivia

• Vicetopus being the Cerebrocrustaceans' natural predator is based on how real-life octopuses hunt crabs. Even the way Vicetopus crushes Dr. Psychobos is how octopuses eat crabs, by crushing them and eating the meat inside.
