In order for an octopus species to become arboreal, it first has to develop lungs like a frog. It also has to adopt a generally green color, and increase the durability of its eggs, which would dry out if hung in long strings as they typically are in the underwater habitat. Its clinging tentacles might be used in climbing, but swimming propulsion would no longer work. In short, the octopus is not well-suited for life as a land creature.
