Actions

Tentacles: Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 bludgeoning damage, and 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.
