Jack Nicholson the head crab tentacle and the Kraken

It was like a huge pit trap of an ant lion larva. But from the middle of the pit stretched for tentacles, made out of around eight half-life head crabs each. Except for one of the head crabs, which was shaped like the head of Jack Nicholson. They were all in a sort of frenzy. Especially the Jack Nicholson one, who tried biting the other crabs that it was attached to. Slowly, however, they merged with one another to turn into sickly yellowish octopus tentacles - it was clear that they had been separate from the start, but some sort of virus had caused them to merge.

This attracted the attention of a nearby Kraken, who curiously tried to approach the creature. I was worried that the Kraken would be infected as well and force to merge with the creature, but it kept its distance. Instead, it found some salad and tomatoes, which it started to nibble. I realised that the vegetables and fruits had been laid out as virally infected bait, but hoped it wouldn't affect the massive creature. It didn't - at first. But, after having eaten four big bits of salad, suddenly there was a huge crack and the big beast pulled together like a sea urchin, getting the same sickly yellow colour as the tentacles.

I felt sorry for it and stroked it as it started to transform, but then I had to leave it there.
