[b]Druid companion list:[/b] 13th (−12, aquatic) — aquatic campaigns only

[b]Constrict (Ex):[/b] A giant octopus deals 2d8+6 points of damage with a successful grapple check.

[b]Improved Grab (Ex):[/b] To use this ability, a giant octopus must hit an opponent of any size with a tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.

[b]Ink Cloud (Ex):[/b] A giant octopus can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 20 feet high by 20 feet wide by 20 feet long once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment.

[b]Jet (Ex):[/b] A giant octopus can jet backward once per round as a full-round action, at a speed of 200 feet.

[b]Companion note:[/b] A 1st-level druid’s companion is completely typical for its kind. As the druid advances, the companion gains bonus HD, natural armor, Str/Dex, tricks, and special abilities per the [url:https://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/druid.htm#animalCompanion]Druid animal companion table[/url]. Alternative-list animals use the level adjustment in parentheses when determining those powers.
