Flapjack Octopus Enamel Pin (Opisthoteuthis depressa)

If you’ve ever thought, “I want my jacket to feature a deep-sea creature that looks like it was designed by a children’s cartoonist and a Lovecraftian nightmare,” then Opisthoteuthis depressa is ready to oblige. Nicknamed the flapjack octopus, this gelatinous cephalopod lives hundreds of meters down, where it spends its days drifting, flapping its ear-like fins, and being aggressively adorable while still technically a predator. Unlike its more muscular, reef-dwelling cousins, the flapjack trades speed for squish—because in the deep sea, nobody’s timing your laps. This hard enamel pin captures its charming pancake silhouette in polished metal and vivid enamel—no submersible or pressure-proof pancake griddle required.

Specs:

• Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
• Secure clasp so your octopus doesn’t “float off”
• Size: 39.5 x 29mm
• Zero chance of inking your shirt

Perfect for marine biology nerds, deep-sea enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys the rare combo of scientific accuracy and unsettling charm.
