Offense
4 tentacles or acid ink
Circumstance: Combat
1d6 tentacle, 3d6 acid ink
Special
Entangle
Against smaller or less powerful prey, if two or more tentacle attacks are successful, it will wrap itself about its target. The entangled individual is crushed and strangled, receiving 2d6 points of damage automatically each round (instead of regular tentacle attacks). The entangled individual must successfully roll an open doors attempt to break free, but may be entangled again in subsequent rounds.
Special
Acidic Ink
Can squirt an acidic ink at a single opponent up to 20 feet away, causing 3d6 points of damage (save vs. Dragon Breath for half-damage). Can also employ this attack against an entangled opponent. This attack is usable 4 times per day and not more than once every 1d4 rounds. This acidic ink can dissolve a web (such as the spell) in one full round.
Special
Acid Immunity
The octobat is immune to this acid ink (whether its own or from other octobats).

An intelligent subterranean creature that often works for powerful evil individuals
An Octobat is an intelligent subterranean creature that will often work for powerful evil individuals such as a wizard or warlord. It can measure 9 to 12 feet across, and each tentacle spanning 10 feet. This dangerous creature tends to bludgeon victims with its four tentacles. For fear of losing a tentacle, an octobat will not entangle larger or seemingly strong opponents, but against smaller or less powerful prey it will wrap itself about its target if two or more tentacle attacks are successful. The entangled individual is crushed and strangled, receiving 2d6 points of damage automatically each round (instead of regular tentacle attacks).
