In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
excellent detail.

When a new cephalopope is to be elected, the shoal of cardinals are sequestred in a cave. If a vote fails, black ink is released from a vent. When a vote is successful a cloud of biolumniscent bacteria are released instead.

Not just Cephalopope, but Floating Cyclopean Cephalopope. Easily confused with the common or garden Hovering Cephalobishop when the latter is viewed in profile.
