    Okay, okay. So calamari is squid, and Lusca would technically be takoyaki. But you have to admit, if you could deep fry and serve just one of those enormous tentacles, you could most likely feed all of Paragon City for quite some time. That is, assuming people would eat a giant mutated octopus. We didn't think to ask Matthew (who sent this great shot of Lusca-watching in) if he would. For those of you who haven't faced this monster, Lusca is a giant sea creature that hangs out in the southern section of Independence Port in City of Heroes. To defeat the mighty Lusca, you must take down each one of the tentacles (while the rest of them are beating on you, mind) and then you are able to attack the head. Once you're done you get the shiny Devilfish badge for your trouble!Have you seen any nasty beasts lately that would look really good on top of a bed of sticky rice? No? How about any other general nasty face-eating or face-melting types of monsters? Little ones with big sharp pointy teeth are good too. Just pack up those screenshots and send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com. We could be trying to figure out ways to cook your monsters next! %Gallery-9798%

    If you had asked me prior to receiving this shot in which game you might be able to fight a giant octopus, I don't think I could have told you. And since this shot puzzled me until the time I was told which game it took place in, I will now pass the puzzle along to you, dear readers. Tell me, what game does this image come from? I'll leave you to ponder the question, but I'll be back later to check on your progress!Update: A great many of you picked up that this was an image from CoH, but I think reader Brigand wins the comments this afternoon by not only telling us what game, but also giving us a detailed rundown on the location and the fight. Says Brigand:...our tentacular friend there is Lusca, the giant octopus. She's a Giant Monster that requires several full teams of heroes to take down.... You assault her one tentacle at a time, while trying to avoid the fury of her other flailing appendages and the blinding ink-cloud she spouts from her head. After all of the tentacles have been destroyed, you close in for a final battle with the head.Do you have a screenshot of your own that you think expresses a unique or memorable moment in your favorite MMO? Send them to us with a description (including game name and location) and you may see it posted here for tomorrow's One Shots. %Gallery-9798%
