Nautilopod

Description:

A nautilopod is a strange, tentacled sea creature representing something of a cross between a starfish, an octopus and a nautilus. The nautilopod has a hard protective shell that grows roughly in the inverted-triangle form of a humanoid torso. This hard shell has three holes below the 'waist' from which three tentacles emerge, two holes at the 'shoulders' from which two tentacles emerge, and then a sixth hole at the 'neck' from which emerges a blob-like head featuring five eyes, long feelers, and a radial mouth with rings of razor sharp teeth.

In water, the nautilopod swims by swirling its three lower tentacles in a spiral, proppelling it forward, while using its upper tentacles to steer, and to lash out and grab prey. Out of water, the nautilopod uses its lower three tentacles somewhat like legs, and uses its upper tentacles like arms to swiape at or grapple its prey.

In combat, nautilopods will attempt to entangle a single opponent with their constrict attack using one tentacle, while slamming other opponents away with their other tentacle. Once a target is successfully entangled with their constrict attack, they will also attempt to grapple by latching on with their lamprey-like mouth. With an opponent twice-entangled, they will applay damage every turn if possible while continuing to keep other opponents at bay with their slam attack.
