Dry Octapuss
+
==Origin==
Living along the dried up cave ponds and streams lives the Dry Octapuss. These creatures, looking almost sentient like, sometimes mistaken by cursed people, are fully animals. Octapuss which adapted at living away from water scources, they become longer, their heads gaining sharp teeth, and their tentacles spreading more along their bodies. These beings, like many octapuss, hide and await for their preys to come close. When they do, they grab the animal or person with their tentacles, and grip their teeth into the flesh. They don't eat the flesh, they drink the blood, all of it. In the end, the animal or person becomes like a dried up person, without moisture in their skin or body. Dry Octapus hideouts are filled with dried up animals and people, with their skin seeming to be touching the bone directly, without rotting. These beings regrow their tentacles if they are cut, but the head is a weakness. Cut it off, and it gets killed.

A common saying amongst the Farfolk carvaners are too avoid the mass graves that occasionally appear in the desert. Bone of animals, descendants, and even birds can all be found within the pile that is known as a Bone-yard. Unless you wish for a slow painful death, they would advise you to tread lightly around the Dry Octapuss's nest.

A common saying amongst the Farfolk carvaners are too avoid the mass graves that occasionally appear in the desert. Bone of animals, descendants, and even birds can all be found within the pile that is known as a Bone-yard. Unless you wish for a slow painful death, they would advise you to tread lightly around the Dry Octapuss's nest.

Characteristics

An adaptive creature that evolved from living in the dry desert, they have many a time preyed upon small to medium animals as they hide amongst the sand, darting out to snap and twist them to render them immobile. With their wide mouth they feast upon the flesh and blood for its nutrients, regurgitating the bones in a mess around their nest, causing the phenomenon known as Bone-yards appearing in the middle of the desert. These beings regrow their tentacles if they are cut, but the head is a weakness. Cut it off, and it gets killed.
