Notable 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.
