Traits
Independent Tentacles. Cetus has eight tentacles, each of which is treated as a Medium creature, moves independently on the kraken’s turn, and has a flying speed of 40 feet. The kraken’s senses operate through its tentacles as well as its main body. Each tentacle can be attacked independently, with damage dealt to tentacles applied to the kraken’s hit point total. A tentacle is destroyed if it takes more than 20 damage.
Reducing the kraken to three or fewer tentacles reduces its attacks accordingly. Cetus can regrow any destroyed tentacles at the end of a long rest.
Actions
Multiattack. The kraken makes four tentacle slam attacks.
Tentacle Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Fling or Tentacle Attack (Costs 1 Action) The creature makes one tentacle attack or uses its Fling: One Large or smaller object held or creature grappled by the creature is thrown up to 60 feet in a random direction and knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.
Digest (Costs 2 Actions). If a creature is swallowed, the monster can begin to digest them. The swallowed creature must succeed on a DC 14 CON or take 3 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and 3 (2d6) acid damage. On a successful save, they take half damage.
