Actions
^^^^^^^

.. index::
   single: grappled; by giant octopus tentacles
   single: restrained; by giant octopus tentacles

:bi:`Tentacles`. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one
target. *Hit:* 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a
creature, it is :ref:`grappled` (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the
target is :ref:`restrained`, and the octopus can't use its tentacles on another
target.

:bi:`Ink Cloud (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest)`. A 20- foot
radius cloud of ink extends all around the octopus if it is underwater.
The area is heavily obscured for 1 minute, although a significant
current can disperse the ink. After releasing the ink, the octopus can
use the Dash action as a bonus action.
