In general, octopuses have a relatively short lifespan.
For example, the Common Octopus, Mimic Octopus, and Blue-Ringed Octopus live for around 12 – 18 months whereas the Giant Pacific Octopus can have a lifespan of 3-5 years!

The one thing they all have in common is how they come in and out of this world. The rest is dependent on the species.
