Warning: Experiment 489 Activated!
Primary Function: Suffocating Victims
Biography[]
Ah, one of my more obscure creations: Experiment 489! Design-ed to cripple enemy soldiers by squeezing them with its strong tentacles; I had came up with the idea for this octopus cousin after family reunion fifteen years before 626's creation. *shudders* Take Jumba's advice, never let aunt Flunda Jookiba bear-hug you! Is like getting squeezed by suffocating sponge!
Family matters aside, 489 was created from the DNA of a Moontopus and a Water Constrictor; the former would later be used in the creation of Experiment 544, and the latter have a strong enough grip to kill the largest creature on their planet of Flouruscus 2: the Brontoslugus!
She was originally reactivated not long after the rehabilitation of 221, along with 455, 529, 202 and 390. When sailors first found her, many presumed 489 to be a Kraken of some kind, able to drag men to the depths of the sea! *cackles evilly* Sorry, I just love a good sea monster story.
One True Place[]
Anyway, it took the help of fellow seafaring Experiments 602 and 501 to apprehend her, but 489 has now been tamed to be used as a Heimlich Maneuver instructor. Just don't ask her to hug you without something choking you; it's just as bad as Flunda's bear-hugs! *shudders*
