Feb 16, 2022 at 9:49 comment added cegfault @EveninginGethsemane with some extrapolation, yeah. If you combine ants/wasps/bees with the capability of certain organisms to change sex on-demand, and/or asexual reproduction mechanisms, then you have something akin to that.... as well as ostentatious nightmare fuel
Feb 16, 2022 at 9:41 comment added Escaped dental patient. Whilst this might provide an interesting supporting argument for an answer - it fails to address the main point of the question which is about: "I'm thinking of an octopus-like creature that used 8, or so, separate "brains" in concert. Each "brain" would be capable of maintaining the creatures basic bodily functions (cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and so on...), as well as being able to function independently or cooperatively with the other "brains". Would such a creature design be feasible/believable for an animal level intelligence?" @cegfault
