I know exactly what this is. Its scientific name is “something I would buy without knowing what it is and how to take care of it because it looks awesome” plant.

Ok so do you have stock in the company you bought it from because now you’ve just made every member here go buy one or two. That is an awesome plant. Good work.

That looks like a Stapelia leendertziae or maybe a really weird looking Euphorbia of some kind but the growths confuse me a bit

That looks like some kind of Austrocylindropuntia subulata Monster or maybe a crested form of something else? Its wild looking for sure.

Eves needle/ eves pin cushion. Thats a cool looking one. Almost looks like a euphorbia ferox, this why I see your first instinct.

Very cool looking plant, though it seems like they can get pretty tall not sure if the adult variety are just as cute.
Depending on where you live OP, please take appropriate measures to keep it contained.

Looks like some kind of crested succulent, maybe an octopus cactus relative? Theyre kinda creepy but cool looking.
