Juvenile Octo-Shark

The Juvenile Octo-Shark first appears in Book 4 as a terrifying level-30 minion: a ten-foot lamprey-eel hybrid whose rear is a writhing mass of tentacles and whose front is dominated by a wheel-sized, toothed maw. Across the series these creatures evolve from simple dungeon fodder into increasingly cunning predators whose lamprey physiology and tentacular mobility allow them to dominate both aquatic and terrestrial battlefields. Their rapid growth and adaptive behavior foreshadow the larger, more intelligent Octo-Shark variants that later threaten entire floors.
