These Octopus Backpacks Are a Weird Yet Adorable Way To Carry Your Belongings

The Flying Dutchman an iconic ship dreaded by the notorious pirates of the Pirates of the Caribbean had a very interesting captain – Davy Jones, whose face resembled an octopus with many tentacles. Unbeknownst to many, he used to be a great Dutch sailor who fell in love with Calypso – a sea goddess. It was Calypso who gave Jones the Flying Dutchman and tasked him with ferrying the souls of those who died at sea to the next world. She promised him that after 10 years, they would meet and spend a day together. But that never happened and Jones believed he was betrayed, he imprisoned Calypso and turned into an evil monster. His physical appearance started to merge with various aquatic fauna which is why his face looks like an octopus is growing out of it.
