Kraken's Wrath

Day 07 - Cephalopod
Cephalopod - "an active predatory mollusc of the large class Cephalopoda, such as an octopus or squid."

Here we go, Another tentacled monster! Just like last year, I decided to go for deep sea bioluminescent blue. But this time, I thought an Octopus would be a better option than a squid.
The sword consists of a very alive octopus, that has grown fond of a hilt that belonged to a warrior who travelled the seven seas in search of adventures. It uses its 4 stronger tentacles, spiraling them tight to make the blade of the sword Legend has it that it is so strong that it could pierce through rocks. The other 4 tentacles would wrap tightly around the wielder's arm making it impossible for them to drop the blade until the deed is done.
