devilfish

en-noun

devilfish (plural devilfishes or devilfish)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-devilfish.wav

The unattractive reptilian specimen in the man’s right hand is an octopus, or devilfish, which constitutes a favorite dish with the Asiatics of the islands.

1899, Jose de Olivares, Our Islands and Their People as Seen with Camera and Pencil, St. Louis, M.O., New York, N.Y.: Thompson Pub. Co, page 470:

We have all heard of the octopus or devil-fish, with its long arms covered with powerful suckers, which is always waiting to seize the unsuspecting, choke and bite him, always grasping with another arm when the grip of one of them is loosened—suitable symbol of the trust.

1913, Victor Ernest Shelford, Animal Communities in Temperate America, Chicago, I.L.: University of Chicago Press, page 5:

The devilfish felt the menace of his attitude, and his two longest tentacles began to writhe in the air, as he measured our distance.

1922, Frederick O'Brien, Atolls of the Sun, Toronto, ON: McClelland & Stewart, pages 164–165:

The devilfishes, or octopuses, vary from 2 inches to 28 feet in spread. They have a flexible bulbous body without a shell and eight long sucker-bearing tentacles.

1951, Tracy I. Storer, General Zoology, New York, N.Y., Toronto, ON, London: McGraw Hill, page 435:

This bloody tinge drew the attention of a giant octopus, or "devilfish," who lived in the deep. Rising to the surface, "looking very white" (as a dead tentacle does, though a live octopus does not), it extended a single mammoth tentacle, encircled the fish camp, and swept it into the sea, gorging itself on the people and smashing their canoes.

1999, Jonathan Raban, Passage to Juneau: A Sea and Its Meanings, New York, N.Y.: Pantheon Books, →ISBN, page 46:

(dated) Any of several not closely related marine animals:

It can easily be imagined that such creatures as these could drown a man, or upset a boat, and they have furnished material for many fabulous accounts of sea-serpents and devil-fishes.

1880, James Henry Emerton, Life on the Seashore, Or, Animals of Our Coasts and Bay, Salem, M.A.: George A. Bates, page 94:

At the bottom of the story of Skylla may lie a sailor's tale of the kraken or devil-fish, which sometimes grows to a gigantic size; Charybdis is obviously nothing but a dangerous whirlpool.

1901, H[ermann] Steuding, translated by Lionel D. Barnett, Greek and Roman mythology and Heroic Legend, London: Dent, page 53:

Devilfishes have been discovered in various seas, which weighed several hundred pounds, and whose length ranged from fifty to seventy or more feet.

1905, Charles Frederick Holder, Half Hours With the Lower Animals, New York, N.Y., Cincinnati, O.H., Chicago, I.L.: American Book Company, page 117:

"Doctor," inquired Charley, "would you call the kraken or devil-fish a legendary or real sea-serpent?"

1909, Edwin J. Houston, At school in the Cannibal Islands, Boston, M.A., Chicago, I.L., St. Louis, M.O., Atlanta, G.A., Dallas, T.X.: Griffith & Rowland Press, page 139:

The Horror had besides eight or ten long tentacles studded with suckers like those of the giant squid or devil-fish. These measured at least thirty feet—thick as a man's thigh near the creature's body, fining down at their extremities like the tip of an elephant's trunk.

1913, “The Deep-Sea Kraken”, in Alfred Holman, editor, The Argonaut, volume 72, page 302:

Old books--many of them dating back to the last two centuries--contain pictures and descriptions of huge devilfishes overwhelming and capsizing ships with their tentacles.

1923, William Crowder, Dwellers of The Sea and Shore, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company, page 198:

The trail led through a scrub pine forest where we tripped over bare roots of trees that curled over and around rocks and boulders like great devilfishes.

1939, Martha Black, Elizabeth Bailey Price, My Seventy Years, London [and others]: Thomas Nelson and Sons, page 108:

Today they are represented by only a few hundred species, but these include such fascinating animals as the octopus, the giant devilfish (or giant squid, which is the largest animal without a backbone), the paper nautilus, and the pearly nautilus.

1965, Robert T. Orr, The Animal Kingdom, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company, page 99:

dodman

Alfred Watkins
Michael Quinion
Running Press
The Old Straight Track

Possibly dod (“(archaic) rounded, bare hilltop”) + -man, in the sense of a creature carrying a hill on its back. The word dod is from dod (“to clip, cut or lop off”), from Middle English dodden (“to shave, shear; to trim (a plant); to poll (cattle); to cut off (someone's head)”), from dod, dodde (“measure of grain”), from Old English.
The surveyor sense appears to be based on a misconception by English amateur archaeologist and author Alfred Watkins (1855–1935) in his book The Old Straight Track (1925).

The present paper is a continuation of our study of the deep-water cancellariid fauna of the Southwest Pacific, based on the material originating from recent expeditions in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Wallis & Futuna, […]

Closely related cancellariid species from California have been observed to feed in this manner, and the deep-water southwestern Florida species may also be a similar suctorial feeder.
