If any animal bite could give you super powers, what animal do you want to be bitten by and which super power do you hope to get? (lemm.ee)

Octopus. I would hope to get the ability to shape shift.

I'm answering in the spirit of the question, but it wasn't specified that the animal has to match the power. In that case, I'd choose basically the smallest thing that could feasibly bite me. A tardigrade for example.

Octopus is obviously the correct answer. They’re smart, they can fit through a hole the size of a quarter, they can camouflage, and they can shoot ink. They’re the superheroes of the animal world already.

Don't they only live for like 4 years or something?

That's longer than a spider lives, and Spider-Man isn't dying of old age at 30.

My pet tarantula is 11 years old and likely got at least 5 more years in her.
