They are unbelievably strong- those arms are pure muscle and designed to be just as strong in every direction, and covered in suckers that can add to grip.

Having eight of those gives them immense strength and control. I read an article recently about a 2oz octopus that could pick up and move 2lb rocks

Yeah, that octopus knows to go at the mouth and nose. Not sympathetic towards the menacer but wow that makes me squirm to see. Yikes!

I clenched up when it looked like the octopus was about to rip his tongue out of his mouth
