  "account": "The Oregon Coast Aquarium has recently added two octopuses to its lineup, both named after characters from the Dungeon Crawler Carl book series. The first is Juicebox, a giant Pacific Octopus, and the second is Donut, a 22.5-pound male octopus. These names were chosen due to the octopuses' remarkable ability to change their appearance to blend in, much like the changeling Juicebox from the series. Fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl will appreciate the connection, as Juicebox is known for shifting into various forms at will, even once taking on the appearance of Ursula from The Little Mermaid. This octopus will be on display at the aquarium in Newport for about a year before being released back into the reef. The aquarium's Octopus Den is well-known for its quality, making it a popular attraction for visitors. The addition of these octopuses, following the release of another octopus named Anakin, highlights the growing popularity of Dungeon Crawler Carl in 2026, with the series soon to release its eighth book, tabletop games, a toy line, and a TV adaptation on Peacock.",
  "summary": "The influence of Dungeon Crawler Carl has officially reached the animal kingdom. The Oregon Coast Aquarium just welcomed a new giant Pacific Octopus and named it after a certain changeling that fans of the series will recognize: Juicebox.",
