So the ultimate counter to skeletons are octopuses.
Octopuses have beaks. Are beaks considered part of a skeleton?
Afaik beaks are more like nails, hoofs and antlers in composition.
Nails, hooves, and rhino horn are all made of keratin; antlers are a little more complicated: https://www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/news-posts/horns-and-antlers-what-s-the-difference
I could swear some movie or video game taught me re-animated deer skeletons can have antlers.
In video game logic it needs antlers to be a deer.
Isn’t the proper plural term octopi?
Octopodes, actually.
Technically they're all "correct", just that octopodes is the most correct and coolest sounding
