I don't find the sharktopus scary anymore, ever since my young daughter spotted its Achilles heel(s).

First, punch it in the nose to confuse and disorient it. Always works with sharks, right? Second, it has 8 tentacles, so there are 8 armpits to tickle. A laughing and convulsing sharktopus is no longer scary.

Dang, I am proud of my girl!
