The octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are sometimes nicknamed "Dumbo octopuses" from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their "heads" (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures, living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species. They can flush the transparent layer of their skin at will.
有人把Grimpoteuthis (未經確定的中文學名：煙灰蛸屬)屬稱作“小飛象章魚”，因頭上（實為身體）突出的耳狀鰭，令其長得像和路迪士尼的小飛象。Grimpoteuthis棲息於深海底，可以隨意使透明的軀體發光，是罕有的八足動物。
