Description This massive marine mollusc is the stuff of sailor's legends and nightmares. Its rounded soft body, shows scars of battle with the whales of the deep. Its eight tentacles are thicker than a ships mast with each bearing two rows of suckers, bigger than dish plates. In combat it uses two tentacles to anchor itself firmly to the hull of a ship and its remaining ones to attack the crew. Its final weapon is a strong beak-like mouth.

Tactics The octopus opens with Sweep the Deck, then spends an action point to use Tentacled Terror against any targets that were knocked prone. It will then use a minor action or two, to slide targets over the side of the ship or melee opponent away from it. Once it is bloodied it rises out of the water giving it threatening reach and a beak attack.
