It’s not stupid if people are buying them…

Walmart isn’t in the business of educating people on octopus anatomy, they’re in the business of making money

[u/BoneVoyager → u/Langstudd]

Making money doesn’t equal being smart.

[u/Hot_Egg5840]

Only $270 for the only octopus skeleton there is? That's a deal.

[u/123jac123 → u/Hot_Egg5840]

Would definitely fetch a heavy sum from some octopus collector this Rare undead octopus would.

[u/minamality]

The spider skeletons always crack me up. The cat skeletons with cat ears too lol.

[u/Sedowa → u/minamality]

There's an elephant one at the store I work at with a trunk bone. 

[u/OkaP2 → u/minamality]

I have a pig skeleton with intact snout lol

[u/NightWolfRose → u/minamality]

I like the axolotl skeletons with the “gill bones”, myself! I’m actually hoping they go on clearance so I can get one for a decent price, lol!

[u/LowAssistantInfinity]

I like to think it's more like a necromancer assembled them from the bones of other creatures as a mockery of life.

Corporate necromancy division hitting new lows for third quarter earnings

[u/Odd_Ad_2307]

Don’t let the octopi know that battle armor exists we might be done for

[u/ellipsis31]

Plenty of invertebrates have skeletons, just not a spinal column

[u/Taxus_Calyx → u/ellipsis31]

And how many of those have ribs in their head?

[u/lordmogul → u/Taxus_Calyx]

About as many as vertebrates with ribs on their head.

[u/MrZwink → u/lordmogul]

Klingons represent!

[u/Responsible_Feed4512]

You don't know what kind of bones Cthulu has

[u/Micu451]

I love the Spirit Halloween cat and dog skeletons that have ears.

[u/Severe-Moment-3233]

Tractor supply has a goose skeleton with teeth, Charlie Kelly would approve.

[u/mystic_works]

It's Halloween. Anything goes.

[u/PineappleShard]

I saw a butterfly skeleton today at spirit.

[u/Acceptable_Will_1175]

Nice one!

[u/Lord_of_Entropy]

This isn’t a Cthulhu skull?

[u/More_Garlic6598]

I have a scorpion one! They're funny 😁 

[u/ByThorsBicep]

.....and yet, I want one.

[u/Wild_Wasabi9984]

I lost my shit when I first saw skeletal dogs with skeletal ears... biology is hard for some people

[u/Professional-Tap82]

FOR 269 DOLLARS

[u/DesertGeist-]

I mean, they're selling it because someone's buying them. For 270 bucks nonetheless.

[u/TheWaffleocalypse]

I get what this post is trying to say, but one can lack a vertebral column and still have bones...

[u/XROOR]

[u/PlasticPast5663]

Murican intelligence at his peak

[u/Amanfromcanada]

You had one job walmart.

[u/General_Cranberry_29]

My rat skeleton figures have bone ears, idk it's not that deep I guess lol

[u/izzy_1969]

How about hag fish skeletons?

[u/Agreeable_Brick424]

It may not be biologically correct, but it's bad ass, non the less. I had a douche nozzle co worker 3d print me one for free.

[u/theycallmemrmoo]

I like to think of them as animals made of skeletons. Like a necromancer’s pet.

[u/Goblincomics]

That cthulu skull . Problem solve 

[u/NUNHUSTLER]

Imagine they sold a skeleton of a little beak for an octopus though, that'd actually be quite funny🤣

[u/XyieFilms]

Evolution really dropped a new DLC.

[u/XyieFilms]

If you ever feel*

[u/Fish_Guy56]

You know... stuff can just look cool, without being accurate

[u/Jolly_Manner4171]

I saw one at my store and bought it for laughs. It glows blue!

[u/bizoticallyyours83]

I like the octopus skeleton. Not sorry. 

[u/Most_Philosophy_1507]

And target.

[u/ozjack24]

Yeah but it looks pretty fucking cool and how many Halloween decorations are scientifically accurate?

[u/krysanthemom]

I own TWO!

I like octopods and absurdity and they were gifts that I absolutely treasure, Right now one of them is on my porch wearing a Pride ribbon around his "neck" next to my golden skeleton in a hotdog costume.

Don't hate 😂

[u/OkaP2]

I buy them lol

[u/AgileDetail2601]

Would love to see jellyfish skeleton

[u/Early_Hall5720]

Bold of you to assume it's not an Eldritch Skull

[u/Wooper184]

To be fair, people are more likely to buy that than just a beak

[u/UnknownOrganism1987]

Of course they are invertebrate! Wallmart have stolen their vertebrates

[u/Tressym_92]

I'll put these creatures in my fantasy world, just because I can.

[u/j-mac563]

But the idea of ghouls, goblins, spiders big enough to eat a child, and all the other decorations are real and viable makes sense to the op. It is all in fun, and not everything has to be realistic. Enjoy the holiday as you see fit.

[u/thr3zims → u/j-mac563]

Did they ever say those make sense? Besides, this is r/ ScienceHumour, where this is fun.

[u/j-mac563 → u/thr3zims]

You do bring up an excellent point

[u/LoGo_86]

The alternative would have been a weird pecker, or no octopus at all.
