| State of Fear / int_56352cc6 | comment |
Animal Assassin: The main murder method of the bad guys is to get a team of thugs to break in, restrain the target, and press a blue-ringed octopus in a plastic baggie of seawater against their armpit, apparently exactly because it's such a bizarre and unlikely means of execution. It's not portrayed as a very effective method — most of the victims survive the experience with medical help, and no explanation of why they use this particular method is given. | |
