These creatures are aggressive and territorial hunters, with arms reaching 10 feet or more in length. Their tentacles are studded with barbs and sharp-edged suckers. In order to bite a creature, the giant octopus must hit with at least two tentacles first.

If a giant octopus fails a morale check, it will squirt out a cloud of black “ink” 40' in diameter and then jet away at twice normal speed for 2d6 rounds.
