Hold Breath:While out of water, the octopus can hold its breath for 30 minutes.
Newfound Intelligence:Awakening this Pet means that they are no longer a Tamed Beast and must be taken as a Sidekick. This requires the character to have the Awaken spell, either by asking a fellow party member to cast it or by getting the spell naturally like Druids do, and requires the upfront cost of the spell to be paid first, A 1000 Gold Piece Agate, in addition to the normal costs of a Sidekick.
Water Breathing:The octopus can breathe only underwater.
Actions
Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 bludgeoning damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 10). Until this grapple ends, the octopus can't use its tentacles on another target.
Ink Cloud (Recharges After A Short Or Long Rest):A 5-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.
Underwater Camouflage:The octopus has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while underwater.
