Octoclops Giant Squid

Enormous, with long brutal claws and
superb eyesight, but mostly sedentary
until angered or hungry. While incapable
of speech, it has childlike intelligence
and, if appeased with large quantities of
meat, leaves the party alone. Its primary
sustenance is fish, speared by its claws
while swimming unawares. Its claws can
also reach into caves, like an anteater,
grabbing at hiding adventurers. Stunned
or dazzled with sudden bright light.
