Octopus

Octopuses were a breed of multi-tentacled cephalopod that lived within the ocean.

Combat
Generally, regular octopuses were not dangerous unless provoked, and in this case, would usually try to escape.

Species

 * Blue ring octopus : Inherently good creatures that dwelt in the oceans of the Underdark, trying to avoid the more powerful races with which they shared territory.
 * Giant octopus : Unlike regular octopuses, they were aggressively territorial and could have tentacles up to 10 ft (3 m) long.
 * Mottled sidi octopus : A species of fierce octopus larger than an adolescent human in size that inhabited the depths of the Sea of Fallen Stars.
 * Octo-jelly : A blind, bell-shaped octopus with the ability to change color.

Ecology
