I’ve always preferred ‘octopodes’. It’s just such a fun word.

After reading the children of time series, I choose to use octopodes simply due to the fact that they are beautifully narcissistic little bastards in those books.
Man is that a good, if gut wrenching series.

Thank you! I knew they were all correct, and I knew why, but I didn’t have an authoritative source to point folks to.

It used to be on the Merriam Webster YouTube channel but I think that editor left and for some reason it was taken down.
