A mutation doesn't produce major new raw material. You don't make new species by mutating the species. That's a common idea people have; that evolution is due to random mutations. A mutation is NOT the cause of evolutionary change. Something else than natural selection brings about species at new levels, trends and direction.

It looks strangely leopard-like to me...

It's cute, but it looks like it has a mean streak about it, like a 90'ies glow-in-the-dark squid version of Marvin the Martian. It wants to kill you, but you still want to cuddle it.

I like the translucent fins with the spots. I had a shower curtain with that motif. Its tentacles look like its doing the macarena.

That cute little guy is probably thinking, "How tasty" when he sees someone like us.
