Deep-sea Squid has Spiked Tentacles

The squid named Galiteuthis armata isn't particularly big, but it has a feature that gives it star billing in your nightmares. There are rows of sharp hooks on the ends of its tentacles. This is one squid you don't want to anger! See more pictures, including a close-up of those spikes, at Deep Sea News. Link -via Ed Yong

A friend of mine had a cat who also was attached to a stuffed animal, which we nicknamed Baby. Why? Because not only did she drag it everywhere, she would meow piteously if you accidentally stepped on it. Forget trying to touch it.
