Jules Verne's classic science fiction novel, "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" has very much influenced the Steampunk movement. It tells the stort of Captain Nemo and his futuristic submarine, the Nautilus. In the course of the book, Nemo and the crew encounter and have to fight off several giant octopuses, and it's likely that it's because of this connection that the octopus is such a classic trope within Steampunk.
