Hey, we'’’re the Kratt Brothers.
I'’’m Martin.
And I'’’m Chris.
In almost every ocean around the world there lurks an amazing creature.
And we know where there'’’s a real friendly one.
Come on.
There she is right down there in the cave.
Let'’’s see if we can call her up.
Come on, girl.
CHRIS: See tentacles.
Hello, Georgia!
Here she comes.
A Giant Pacific Octopus!
MARTIN: All right.
Wow, what a grip.
CHRIS: It'’’s amazing how strong these suction cups are.
They really latch on.
That'’’s a cool Creature Power.
And the octopus has a lot of cool Creature Powers.
CHRIS: One of them: arm regeneration.
If one gets bitten off by a predator it can grow back the arm.
And the Creature Powers don'’’t end there.
Octopus have incredible camouflaging.
They have chromatophores all over their body that can change the color of the octopus depending on what it'’’s sitting on or its mood.
See, she'’’s changing color right now.
And don'’’t forget about jet propulsion.
See those slits on the side of her head?
She takes in water through them and then blows it out really fast through her siphon.
She'’’ll do that if she wants to move fast.
Otherwise, she just walks along the bottom.
See you later, Georgia!
Imagine if we had the Creature Powers of the octopus!
And could use them in the deep sea like the Giant Pacific!

Hey, Aviva, how many animals have your programmed for these anyway?
Hm, I don'’’t know.
A lot.
(Hammering, cranking) I'’’ll check it out for you, Jimmy Z.
Let'’’s see, polar bears, octopuses, honey badgers.
Cool.
Yeah, but wait till you see my new invention, the Octopod.
I'’’m still working on it.
But with this creature-inspired super sub, the bros will be able to get some real work done.
CHRIS: Oh, yeah!
MARTIN: Whoo-hoo!
Ho-ho!
(Both grunting) Ho-hoo!
Whoa, that'’’s air!
(Laughing) Whoohoo!
Whoo!
All right, check this out!
(Laughing) Whoo!
Yeah!
Um, guys, what are you doing with my Manta Riders?
We just invented a new extreme sport, Manta-boarding!
They'’’re designed for water travel, not flying over rails.
Well, I happen to be an ace Manta rider, so there'’’s nothing to worry about.
Famous last words.
Oh, yeah?
Watch this.
Whoa!
Martin, slow down.
(Screaming) Uh-oh.
(Screaming) (Groaning) Oh, no!
Nice landing, bro.
(Metal creaking) (Grunting) Have you got my Creature Power Suits?
Uh, no.
But I did find a Giant Pacific Octopus.
Hey, he only has seven arms.
Okay, so that'’’s what I'’’m going to call him, Seven.
Hey, Seven.
Not one of your wilder names, bro.
But, hey, at least we know you can count.
Brothers Kratt, I'’’m sure Seven is very nice, but the suits are gone!
Don'’’t worry, Aviva, I'’’ll find them!
Hang on, Seven!
(Gasping) ♪ They got sucked out by the current.
Oh, and I lost Seven too.
I'’’m so sorry, Aviva.
It took me 11 months, 14 days and 3 hours to develop that technology!
They'’’re prototypes.
That means they'’’re the only ones.
Don'’’t worry, Aviva.
We'’’ll just grab our scuba gear and-- No, we can use the Octopod.
It'’’s not finished yet, but it'’’ll take us down further and fight the water currents.
We'’’ve got to get my suits back.
(Burbling) To the Creature Power Suit rescue!
ALL: Yeah!
♪ (Creature Power Suit beeping) ♪ CHRIS: Okay, the suits will be carried by the currents, which are moving northeast.
Let'’’s head northeast, Aviva.
You got it, Chris.
See the suits, Martin?
Oh, I don'’’t see any sign of them.
I'’’m so sorry, Aviva.
I'’’ll forgive you, ace Manta rider, when you find my Creature Power Suits.
(Radar beeping) Hey.
It looks like we have a Giant Pacific Octopus coming our way.
MARTIN: Oh, yeah, I see him too.
Hey, I think it'’’s Seven!
Four, five, six, seven, eight.
Not seven.
But talk about a creature with amazing Creature Powers.
Giant Pacifics are like a team of superheroes all rolled into one.
They have escape tactics.
Amazing stretching abilities.
And they'’’re super smart.
But does he have the power to find my suits?
I'’’ll ask him.
Hey, guy, what'’’s up?
Whoa, he'’’s thinking, "I'’’m out of here using jet propulsion."
Hey, he must be trying to escape from a predator.
I'’’m a big fan of jet propulsion.
How does an octopus use it?
Okay, water goes up into his head and then into a tube.
The tube has muscles at the top of it, which quickly squeezes water out the hole in the back.
And that shoots the octopus forward at about 25 miles per hour.
It'’’s like having a jet engine right in your head.
Super cool!
Chris, take over driving.
I'’’m going to add jet propulsion into the Octopod movement system.
If I fasten this tubing into the intake valve over here, it'’’ll run water into the auto-pump.
That will squeeze it through this tube.
It just might work!
If anyone can do it, you can, Aviva.
Oh, you were right, Chris.
He was escaping your predator, that great white shark!
Whoa, the octo just said, "Eat this!"
and shot a cloud of ink into the great white'’’s face to mask his escape.
He didn'’’t only take off to escape.
His ink has chemicals that are poisonous even to him.
Oh, it did a super job of irritating the shark'’’s eyes so the octopus could get away.
Oh, add an ink defense to the Octopod, Aviva.
Oh, yeah, we need an ink defense!
(Grunting) How'’’s that going to help us find the suits?
The octopus has it for a reason.
So the Octopod should too.
It worked great for him because the shark is gone.
I spoke too soon.
(Chuckling nervously) Shark must think we'’’re an octopus!
He'’’s chewing on us!
Oh, no, he might bite through the power line.
Then we'’’re going down with no way up.
No better time to test my jet propulsion feature than now.
♪ (Beeping) It worked!
Whoo!
Way to go, Aviva!
Way to go, Aviva!
Awesome!
Thanks, guys.
Ink defense is next.
And I have just the thing to help me add it to the Octopod.
Ta-da!
I brought a celery-and-seaweed shake in case I wanted a snack.
Ah!
Seaweed ink defense, what a great idea.
Healthy not harmful.
Exactly.
Do you see any sign of the suits, Martin?
MARTIN: Hm, I don'’’t see them but-- (Martin gasping) I think I see Seven.
Oh, this guy must really like me.
Or the Octopod looks like his mom.
I see thousands of suckers, smart eyes darting around-- Oh, wait.
It'’’s not Seven.
This guy has a face full of whiskers and giant tusks!
What?
(Gasping) Wha--?
Ugh!
Hah, we discovered a new type of octopus!
It'’’s got tusks!
And whiskers.
He'’’s cleaning the window.
(Chuckling) This is unknown to science!
I got to get a picture for my life list!
(Camera snapping) CHRIS: Oh, no, all I got was an arm!
Uh-oh, he'’’s not happy.
I guess he doesn'’’t like his picture taken.
Those tusks are going to rip right through the Octopod.
(Buttons beeping) Aviva, is that ink defense ready?
I don'’’t know.
But let'’’s give it a seaweed squirt!
Wait, no.
It'’’ll chase him away.
We can'’’t let this guy out of our sights!
But my Octopod can'’’t withstand a blow from those tusks!
Ink defense, don'’’t fail me now.
Wha--?
But it'’’s a new species!
Oh, amazing ink shot, Aviva.
It'’’s tasty too.
(Smacking lips) And it just chased away a new species of octopus unknown to the world.
We'’’ve got to go after it.
I think it went that way so we are too!
Oh, Chris is right.
We'’’ve never seen anything like it.
So we got to find it!
Hey, Koki, we need an ID on a strange octopus.
It'’’s got whiskers and tusks.
KOKI: I'’’ve been checking it out but can'’’t find any octopus with those bizarre features.
Sorry, guys.
Don'’’t be sorry, Koki.
We just discovered a never before documented octopus.
We'’’ll call it Octopus Wildkratticus!
Ah, or Octopus Martinkratticus!
Oh, Octopus Wildkratticus works too.
Hey, nobody believed it when the golden bamboo lemur was recently discovered.
But it was, living secretly in the Madagascar rainforest.
Could be the same with the octo-walrus.
This is our chance to discover a type of animal no one knows about and prove it to the world!
Um, guys, did you forget that the reason we are at the bottom of the sea is to find the Creature Power Suits?!
Hey, I know it'’’s important, Aviva.
But finding a new species is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
The suits can sit around for a while.
Except for one problem, they can'’’t last long in seawater and high pressure.
It'’’s sensitive technology.
They need proper care.
Martin Lost-the-suits-icus, what do you think?
Well, I agree with-- Both of you?
(Martin chuckling nervously) Hey, the suits and the octo-walrus are both headed to the sea bottom, so why don'’’t we just go down there?
I have an idea.
There are a few water caves ahead.
We can search through the cracks and crevices with the Manta Riders.
Octopuses live to hide out in places like that.
Uh, I mean the Creature Power Suits might be stuck on a rock.
The suits mean as much to us as they do to you, Aviva.
We'’’ll find them, promise.
Okay, I'’’ll use the suckers on the Octopod'’’s arms to stick to the sea bottom in order to stick around, just like the octopus'’’s powerful suction grip.
Okay, we'’’re attached.
Be careful, guys.
♪ ♪ (Shark growling) (Roaring) CHRIS: I haven'’’t been this excited since we almost discovered that new tropical slug.
Turned out to be an old piece of gum, but it was fun while it lasted.
Hey, this water cave looks like a good place for an octo-walrus to hide.
Hm, maybe he'’’s-- I mean, the suits are in the cave.
I saw that wink, Chris.
Oh!
(Creature growling) (Chris and Martin screaming) (Groaning) ♪ Did we just discover another new species?
I don'’’t know but I think he discovered a new snack: us!
♪ Aviva, open the portal!
(Both groaning) Whoo!
An octo-walrus-shark!
I'’’m in creature adventure heaven!
Ugh!
Uh-oh!
AVIVA: Hold on, guys.
I'’’m getting us out of here.
Octo-jet-propulsion!
(Beeping) I just received a signal that you guys were in a collision!
You bet we were, trying to get away from an octo-walrus-shark.
It chewed an arm right off my Octopod!
Oh, you might want to design an arm-regeneration feature, Aviva.
Arm regeneration?
You mean when a predator bites off an octopus'’’ arm it grows back?
Yeah, in three months the octopus has a brand-new arm.
Wow, we are going to need every arm to find the Creature Power Suits.
And no arm-munching new species is going to stop me.
All right, let'’’s go!
Octo-walrus-shark, here we come!
Chris, you'’’re driving like a loony!
Hey, Aviva, you sure designed squishy seatbelts on this thing.
They feel like octopus arms!
Seven, eight.
I like eight but I miss Seven.
Whoo, this guy must have floated in through the hole and used his camouflage to fit right in with the color of the chair.
It'’’s so cool how the color of an octopus changes in seconds.
How does it do that?
With small stretchy colored sacks called chromatophores that change when it crawls along the surface.
The tiniest piece of skin can have hundreds of chormatophores in them.
AVIVA: Cool!
I can add a camouflage feature to the outer panels of the Octopod.
Now, if only I could find my suits that easily.
(Gasping) Uh-oh, guys, I see a huge whale coming towards us.
I hope it doesn'’’t eat Octopods.
CHRIS: It'’’s a bowhead whale!
MARTIN: Don'’’t worry, Aviva.
They just eat small fish and plankton.
(Zapping) Did you see that?
What?
That green and blue blast of light!
I'’’d know that glow anywhere!
It'’’s my Creature Power Suits activating!
Activating?
I think Aviva'’’s been underwater too long, Chris.
No, I'’’m fine!
I know what I saw.
Out of the way, Chris!
We'’’ve got to head towards that glow.
Aviva, you might think you saw a glow of green and blue light, but, you know, it was probably just some underwater plankton.
(Gasping) (All screaming) It'’’s a sea monster!
It'’’s a new species!
Unbelievable, this underwater trench is full of bizarre new creatures.
Move over, Jacques Cousteau!
Chris Kratt'’’s heading for the record books.
Now, hang on, pal.
Just let me get some footage.
Ah, the sea monster has seven arms.
(Gasping) Oh, no, it'’’s Seven!
But how?
CHRIS: I don'’’t know, Martin, but he just caught an Atka mackerel!
(Zapping) I knew it!
That power glow is pure Aviva!
And you guys say I didn'’’t see it.
So that'’’s what happened.
Seven was tangled up in the Power Suits all along.
First he must have touched a walrus.
Then a shark.
Then a bowhead whale.
And finally an Atka mackerel.
So the octo-walrus, octo-shark and octo-whale weren'’’t new species at all.
Sorry, Chris.
Now we know that Seven was the sea monster all along, because he kept activating every time he touched another animal.
I have an idea that just might get everything back to normal.
But we'’’ll have to use all of our octo-powers.
It could be the only chance we have to save my suits.
Without them, you'’’ll never run with a cheetah, dive with a dolphin or climb with a koala ever again.
Aviva'’’s right.
BOTH: To the creature rescue!
(Growling) ♪ AVIVA: Oh, no, you don'’’t.
Arm regeneration!
I'’’m going to need all my octo-strength for this.
(Growling) AVIVA: Gotcha!
Okay, guys, now hurry!
(Roaring) CHRIS: Look, the deactivation button.
Oh, great.
Of course, it has to be right between a swarm of arms!
Uh-oh!
(Both grunting) Whoa!
Whoa!
Whah!
Don'’’t worry, guys!
Those are my arms, not Seven'’’s!
Retreat!
Octopus-ink defense!
This is tougher than I thought.
Activating octopus camouflage.
Perfect, he doesn'’’t see us.
Remember, guys, all you got to do is touch that deactivation button when you get close enough.
Easy for her to say.
Okay, Martin, you lost the suits so I'’’m sending you in to deactivate.
What?
I said I was sorry.
Ha-ha, good luck, bro.
And, Chris, you'’’ll be the decoy.
The decoy as in "Yoohoo, come after me, giant sea monster" decoy?
That'’’s right, Chris Let'’’s-find-a-new-species-icus.
Closer, closer.
ALL: Uh-oh.
Chris, decoy!
Seven, over here, buddy!
Nice, uh, teeth!
AVIVA: Hurry, Martin, while he'’’s distracted!
Just a little closer.
Ugh!
Missed.
(Roaring) Uh, Aviva, anytime now.
Hold on, Chris.
Jet propulsion!
Uh-oh, I'’’m running out of octopus tricks.
I'’’ve used the ink defense, arm regeneration, camouflage and jet propulsion.
We just can'’’t get close enough.
Use all the features at once!
You can do it, Aviva!
Okay, Octopod, don'’’t fail me now.
So you want to play hardball, do you, Mr. Monster?
(Roaring) Check out these octo-moves.
Ink defense!
(Growling) Camouflage power!
Arm power!
(Roaring) I got a clear shot.
Quick, closer!
(Roaring) I can'’’t hold him much longer!
Get ready!
This is it!
And jet-propulsion power!
(Growling) Martin, deactivate!
Got it.
Got it.
(Beeping) Deactivate!
Got it!
Yes, it worked!
ALL: Whoo, the suits are safe!
CHRIS: And Seven'’’s back to normal.
AVIVA: Sorry, Seven, but those are ours.
And you know what?
Octopus features really are like superhero powers.
Mission accomplished!
Ah, my suits are back where they belong.
And I officially forgive you, ace Manta rider.
Oh, thanks, Aviva.
And Seven'’’s back to being his old self.
Yeah, even if I didn'’’t discover a new species, it'’’s great to have you back, buddy.
Oh, wait a minute.
What is Seven sitting on?
It'’’s an octopus fossil!
Do you know how rare this is?
Probably created before the dinosaurs.
Well, bro, looks like you didn'’’t discover a cool new species, but you found a cool old fossil.
Sweet!
And Aviva'’’s Octopod now has jet propulsion and ink cloaking.
Don'’’t forget about camouflage and arm regeneration!
AVIVA: And it can juggle Kratt Brothers.
(Aviva laughing) (All laughing) Oh, no!
The octopus fossil!
Rev up the Octopod, Aviva!
We'’’re going back down!
(All laughing) The powers of the octopus are absolutely amazing.
From arm regeneration to ink defense to camouflage to squeezing through tight places and more!
CHRIS: But there'’’s one remarkable power that we haven'’’t even talked about yet.
Octopus are smart.
Oh, yeah.
Octopus are the smartest of all the invertebrates, creatures without backbones.
And they'’’re even smarter than a lot of creatures with backbones.
Let'’’s do a little experiment to test just how smart Giant Pacific Octopus are.
We'’’ll put the clam in the jar.
And then put the lid on the jar, and see if the octopus can figure out how to figure out how to get to the clam inside.
We have holes in so that the octopus can smell the clam inside.
But then she'’’s going to have to figure out how to get to it.
Okay, I think she'’’s on to it.
Oh, she'’’s grabbing it.
She got a hold of the jar.
She'’’s covering the whole jar with her arms and webbing.
I think she smells it.
The lid'’’s off!
(Laughing) And in go the tentacles!
Okay, her arms are searching for it.
Yeah, she tasted it.
Oh, yeah, she'’’s got it now.
Nice!
CHRIS AND MARTIN: Yes!
CHRIS: She did it!
MARTIN: All right!
Oh, yeah, now that tentacle'’’s taking it right up to her beak.
Wow, now, that is a smart creature!
And she'’’ll just sit there eating that clam until the shell is clean.
Great job, Georgia!
Nothing left but shell.
Wow!
And here'’’s a few more treats the easy way.
There'’’s a tasty clam for you.
Wow, they'’’re so powerful.
If you'’’re a small creature, once you get in the grip of the octopus arm and suction cups you can'’’t escape.
Oh, man, that is a strong octopus.
And she'’’s just a young one.
Owwww!
I can feel the beak.
Right in the middle of all the tentacles, that'’’s where the beak is, right in there.
That'’’s the power of the octopus beak.
An octopus has a beak kind of like a bird, a hard beak, that it uses to drill right through clam shells and mussels.
Maybe we should give her a little more food.
She'’’s definitely hungry.
The octopus: an amazing creature with super powers.
We'’’ll see you on the creature trail.
Keep on the creature adventuring.
