If you’ve ever thought, “I want a tiny cloak-wearing cephalopod from the ocean’s midnight zone guarding my lapel,” then Vampyroteuthis infernalis—the vampire squid from hell—is ready to serve. Living 600–900 meters deep in low-oxygen waters, this living fossil is neither fully squid nor fully octopus, but a delightful evolutionary loophole draped in webbed arms lined with soft spines. Instead of drinking blood, it feasts on marine snow—bits of organic debris drifting from above—making it more goth vegan than true vampire. This hard enamel pin captures its crimson membranes and shadowy charm in polished metal and rich enamel, no coffin or submersible needed.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your vampire squid doesn’t “vanish into the night”
- Size: 35 x 43mm
- Zero chance of turning into a bat (or biting you)
Perfect for marine biology nerds, deep-sea enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys the rare combo of scientific accuracy and unsettling charm.
