Ambusher. The octo has advantage on attack rolls targeting any creature that has yet to have a turn in this combat. Amphibious. The octo can breathe air and water. Multi-Action. The octo can take 2 actions on each of its turns, but can't use the same action twice in one turn.
Actions Bomb Shot. An explosive pellet lobs onto a point within 60 feet. Each creature within 20 feet of the point must make a 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 27 (6d6) thunder damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10 feet. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage and if the target is a Medium or smaller creature it becomes grappled by the octo (escape DC 12). The octo can't grapple more than one creature at a time. Spit Ink. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 60/240 feet. Hit: 5 (2d4) acid damage, the target becomes soaked, and if the target is a creature it becomes blinded until it uses an action to clear the ink from its eyes. Spit Rock. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 60/240 feet. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage. Miss: If the target is wielding a shield, it can use its reaction to deflect the rock back at the octo, forcing it to make a new attack roll targeting itself.
Boss Mode While the big octo has a Challenge rating higher than any other monster in combat, its heart points are doubled, and it has advantage on initiative checks. It can also take 3 boss reactions each round, replacing its normal 1 reaction per round. The boss big octo can use a boss reaction to Escape, Maneuver, Search, use any of its normal reactions, or do any of the following: Boss Resistance (3/Day). When the octo would fail a saving throw, it can choose to lose 20 heart points and succeed on the save instead. Combo (Costs 2 Reactions). After the octo hits with an attack roll, it uses the same attack on a new target. Duck or Dive. When the octo would be hit with an attack by a creature it can see, it can immediately dive 10 feet underwater or take a defensive posture with its shell. It adds 2 to its AC for that attack, potentially turning a hit into a miss.

“	“A subspecies of octorok that lives in the ocean. In The Wind Waker, they spit bombs instead of rocks. In *Spirit Tracks*, they shoot ink. Whether encountered by ship, or in the Spirit Train along the sea floor, ocean octoroks are best dealt with using long-range attacks.”
	— Enyclopedia

Of larger size and strength than most of their kin, these purple-colored octoroks prefer deeper waters of the sea or the abundant flora of marshlands. They are sometimes called ocean octoroks.
     Environment: Sea, Swamp
