Squid
A cephalopod mollusk with an elongated body, eight arms, and two long tentacles, closely related to its fellow cephalopod the octopus.
Nintendo's Splatoon characters began as tofu blocks that shot ink to claim turf. Next came rabbits: ink showed on white fur, and ears signaled direction. But developers couldn't connect rabbits with ink, so they switched to squids.

The brain of a cephalopod is shaped like a donut, with the esophagus running straight through the center. Even in a 300 kg colossal squid, the esophagus is only about 10 mm in diameter—so swallowing too large a piece of food can compress the brain and cause damage.
