The vampire squid, Vampyroteuthis infernalis also known as the vampire squid from hell, is a cephalopod that lives throughout the world’s temperate and tropical oceans. The vampire squid is named for its jet-black skin (although color varies from black to red to purple and seems to depend on the light conditions), the caped appearance of the webbing between the arms, and eyes that appear red under some light conditions (the eyes appear blue when viewed from a submersible).
