Absolutely loved this game. I think that this... creature that you are following was always like this. Remember the notes about his "eye", not eyes. He also makes a comment on your disability, i.e. your lack of tentacles. In my opinion, they are one and the same, just the friend was more fit for the aquatic environment.
