I can understand the appeal. From a realistic perspective, an Octopus Kaiju would be quite clever. The Octopus is a resourceful creature that adapts to it's current situation. I once saw shocking footage from an aquarium of an Octopus strangling a shark to death. It would wait in a dark corner of the tank, changing it's color and appearance to look like rocks on the bottom. Once the shark was facing away from the Octopus, it would ambush The creature did this on multiple occasions, but that wasn't the most shocking thing it did. No, once it killed them, it arranged their corpses on the floor of the tank in some sort of pattern. It looked like a serial killer creating art out of his victims. Why it did this is still not fully understood. Sounds to me like the makings of a great movie monster!
