Editing Bog Octopus

[[File:Bog_Octopus.jpg|Thumb|]]
Bog Octopi are monsters in Warhammer Fantasy which have been around since the earliest editions of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

Most Octopi are relatively harmless (if not enchanting) aquatic creatures that live, for the most part, in tropical oceans. The Bog Octopus, however, is not of this ilk. It looks like a huge Octopus, with eight tentacles, huge round eyes, and green skin - but the resemblance ends there. These creatures live in the cold and forbidding marshes and bogs of the Old World. Their entire lives are spent squelching menacingly around in stinking mud and quagmires, occasionally surfacing to drag down and eat some passing creature. Living in such a dense medium, they are powerful and, once caught by a tentacle, it is very hard for all but the strongest creatures to escape.
In combat, a Bog Octopus may attack with all 8 tentacles each round.

In terms of physique, these mud-colored creatures resemble giant octopi, with a central body about six feet across and eight tentacles, each about twenty feet long; some may be smaller and will have reduced characteristics.

The [[Fimir]] in Warhammer Fantasy held them to be sacred animals and worshipped their Mother-Goddess, Kroll.
