- The page saysan octopus with no pigment cells to its name, totally white
- The source says
The lack of chromatophores, or pigment cells, also stands out—that's why it's totally white.
Note: vibe.reason, settled in task #657. Wave 81's claims file was lost with its worktree; this file holds only the claims this settle touched. - The page saysa diaphanous, jelly-like body that carries almost no muscle, because in a food-limited abyss muscle takes a lot of food to maintain
- The source says
Another obvious feature is its diaphanous consistency—it's sort of jelly-like. That's common for deep-sea animals because they live in a very food-limited environment, and it takes a lot of food to maintain muscle.

How the table was made: a writer drafted the profile from these sources and logged each claim with its quote, a reviewer with nothing but this table checked every sentence said no more than its quote, and a script confirmed each quote appears word for word in the source. The method is in the site'sAbout page.
