Octocat by Stone Gargoyle
An Octocat is a larger, more predatory version of the Octokitty. It has the torso, front legs and head of a large cat/lion or panther, and tentacles on the hind end.

Weight: 350 to 500 pounds.
A.R.: 5
Hit Points: 5d6+20
S.D.C.: 4d6+20
P.P.E.: 4d6
Horror Factor: 14
Attacks per melee: 5
Damage: Claws do 2d4+4 points of damage, bite does 1d6+2 damage. A hit by a tentacle arm does 1d6+6 points of damage, being crushed/squeezed by a tentacle does 1d6 points of damage per melee.
- Pouncing and Leaping: Octocats instinctively leap and pounce on prey, wrapping tentacles around prey and crushing and squeezing. They can also strike/slash with their claws. A pouncing leap has a 01-65% chance of knocking human-size prey off his feet (victim loses initiative and one melee attack) and suffers 1d6 damage from the impact and fall in addition to any other damage.
- Tentacle Strength: Octocats have a tentacle strength with a P.S. of 20 and can drag and throw objects.
- Inky Cloud: When a fight goes badly, an Octocat will secrete an intensely dark liquid and make its escape. The inky cloud will completely obscure a 1d6X100 foot radius. Everyone in the cloud is blinded, -9 to strike, parry and dodge. The inky discharge also confuses the flavor trail by which an enemy might follow in pursuit. Visibility returns after 3d6 minutes as the cloud disperses.
