Clues: I already gave you the answer 'octopus' now you guys have to tell me the riddle

Each line is a real word.

There is one line that correlates with two words, so it actually looks like:
Leg by leg crawling along the ocean floor __ I will cause ink and eight are mine to keep"

(1) - On the line 'stuff not of days and dogs' you are all thinking too concretely, be more abstract.

(2) - The answer to this line is two words.
