Description: Small purple colored creature with thick, oily skin consisting of eight boneless tentacles of aproximatly 1ft long, which are caperble of stretching to almost 10ft and a width of just slightly thicker than spaghetti. The tentacles join together in the middle without any real 'body'. Resembles a starfish rather than an octopus. Doesn't have eyes or external sensory organs of any kind. It has a complex brain structure stressing out about half way down each arm from the middle, which also contains a simplistic digestive system It has some kind of toothless mouth in the center as well. There are small barbed hooks protruding from the flesh on the underside of each tentacle and the flesh itself has a mesh like structure that allows it to stretch, the tentacles becoming incredibly narrow. It can latch itself on other creature and dig it's tentacles underneath the skin causing enormous pain. When tentacles manage to get to creatures spinal cord and brain, it overtakes the body of creature dead or alive. Upon death or removal the creature injects a nerve agent into the body of it's host that causes paralysis unless the host can make a Consitution saving throw.

Reagents: At the centre of the creatures brain is a sac where the nerve agent is stored, this can be extracted and used as a paralysis poison. (?)
