Mimic Octopus
The mimic octopus is an intelligent shape changer that can impersonate a host of other animals to dodge hungry predators.
The cephalopod can alter its appearance by, among other ruses, flattening out to appear as a poisonous sole, swimming surrounded by its floating arms to impersonate the lionfish and its venomous fins, and changing the colors on its arms to make them look like poisonous sea snakes.
