#6 - no it does not have the exoskeleton (say isn't vertebrate and exoskeleton the same thing?)

They are not the same thing. Vertebrate means it has a backbone (like you) and exoskeleton means it has a tough external covering, like a lobster.
Is this animal bigger than a house cat?

By the way, the above appears to be a Japanese spider crab. (Thanks to Endless Ocean 2 for the wii for beefing up my knowledge of sea life!)

Octopus and Squids are both Mollusks.

#10 - no its not a squid #11 - yes it is an octopus #12 - no not a jellfyfish - and whoa! at all the time I thought that Octopus is not a mollusk since it does not have any shells at all like clams, shells, etc....so I googled it and so much to my surprise - it s actually a mollusk! the answer was "it has a paper thin shell on its body." and also double checked another site - http://www.mbgnet.net/salt/oceans/animals/mollusk.htm interesting - something new to learn!  so sorry Chaim - looks like Q guessed it correctly. But my fault assuming that it was not a mollusk without checking out the facts first before answering. My fault. Next time I will double-check it before posting an answer. so  ?

I actually had thought it might be a squid or octopus, which is why I asked the mollusk question.

Many species of mollusk don't grow their own shells but 'borrow' other's or use something totally different than a shell. Octopi especially like to 'borrow'. From a Bits thread: October Spawned a Monster - Originally posted by Candlelight: Sorry.

I am sorry I mislead you all, it was not my intention at all. (perhaps that s why I did not do good in Science). Like I say before, I will double check to make sure that I answer it more accurately and appropriately. I promise!

No big deal, Supes. I didn't know they were mollusks either. What an educational thread; some genius musta started it!
Quis, does it live in water?

Is it? I didn't know they were mollusks, either, though. There's just too many things in the universe to know, I'm afraid. Just so we remember it's a game and we get to learn stuff and share time together everything is ok.  That was so funny, Set! Real question: is this ever been featured in a horror show?

It is not a shrew, however "shrew" reminded me of this They Might Be Giants song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBoU4DAxg00 It is a vertebrate, it does not live in water, and it has not to my knowledge been featured in a horror movie. lancesrealm, cool video.
