Homebrew Dreadnaught Species Details
"Its a ******* octopus, what do you mean it killed half the Queen's guard?" - Frightened individual.
The Dreadnaught is a race of octopus-like humanoids. They were driven underground by humans, and have lived underwater for centuries. It has gotten to the point that they have built entire cities and societies in these underground, underwater nests.
They have a set of eight prehensile tentacles, much like that of an octopus. They can also spit a kind of poison black ink from their mouths, which can be corrosive. They are much like a glass cannon, being able to do many tasks efficiently, but with a high risk to their life to pay.
