I was speculating about land-going angler fish as I read the comments on today's new Wilde Life strip (that moth looks awfully like a lure to me) and my idling brain just put two and two together to make five and imagine: The infernal vampire tree squid :)

Of course someone's always got there first: Tree Octopuses in the media In this case a surprising number of someones - I thought tree octopi were one of Pterry's creations, but apparently there's a rich literary tradition of them.

But I'm claiming the infernal vampire tree squid as mine, so there.
