Octopuses are to steampunk what dragons are to fantasy: iconic monsters. With their large, round head and their weirdly shaped eyes, octopuses sort of look steampunk-ish. They look like they are wearing steampunk goggles and a helmet all the time. Moreover, with their long pipe-like tentacles, their bodies are reminiscent of steam machines.
In the 19th century, the octopus was a symbol of the railroad and the Industrial Revolution, which are central to the steampunk culture. Railroad companies, with their sprawling networks similar to tentacles, were seen as monsters attempting to take over the farmers' lands.
