The octopus: super intelligent.
Why not put them together?
Which is what happened when Dali used an actual octopus, smeared in ink, to create part of his famed "Don Quixote" lithograph suite.
Dali also did a host of drawings using octopus tentacles to suggest the head of Medusa.
Even in the far upper right corner of Dali's huge canvas, "Ecumenical Council," the artist pressed the tentacle of an octopus onto the picture (it takes a keen eye or, better yet, a step-ladder to spot this arcane but interesting little detail).
