It's like someone took up underwater kite flying.

They cut it off too early! In the next scene, it grabs the guys hand and leads him through a psychedelic neon tunnel into it's giant spaceship.

Then what happened!?

Blanket Octopi?

No...the origin of octopus is Greek, not Latin....therefore octopodes is technically correct, and as the word is now considered English, octopuses (or octopusses) is also considered proper...octopi is a mistake based on the mistaken belief that octopus was Latin.
Double checked through Webster
