Octopus

An octopus (also known as a "vassal") is a type of beast monster typically found in or around the southern oceans of Wraeclast. They are a type of squid that inhabits a corpse of a pirate; on death, a bubble of tar explodes, covering the corpse and a small area around it in Tarred Ground. Octopus species are also known as "parasitic cephalopods" in the Menagerie Depths. Octopuses typically resist cold damage.
