Greater blue-ringed octopus Hapalochlaena lunulata These octopus use deadly toxins in their saliva to paralyse and kill their prey. It’s the same venom found in blowfish, which is 10,000 times more deadly than cyanide. The victim usually falls into cardiac arrest and dies due to oxygen loss. There is no antivenom. -- source link
