Actions

Multiattack. The octopus can make two attacks, up to one of those attacks can be with the beak.

Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 17). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the octopus can't grapple another target.

Beak. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, target must be grappled by the octopus. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage.

Ink Cloud (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). A 20- foot-radius cloud of ink extends all around the octopus if it is underwater. The area is heavily obscured for 1 minute, although a significant current can disperse the ink. After releasing the ink, the octopus can use the Dash action as a bonus action.

Description

"The doubling of ones limbs is a strain on the mind, yet time and time again I assumed the form of this tentacled beast. Eventually I found home in that alien mind, such that I now occasionally regard my true form with loss." - The lost journal of Vein Hepatros
