Octoids have yellow-green skin that is both semi-transparent and semi-luminescent when they are excited. These rare creatures can stun their prey with a pale red beam from their single large eye. Octoids will envelop the head of their victims whenever possible. Once firmly attached, the victim becomes a meat-puppet extension of the octoid's body, attacking any perceived threat. Once all threats have been eliminated, the octoid begins secreting acidic enzymes that allow it to dissolve, digest, and absorb it's prey.
The octoid has eight dexterous tentacles centered around an orifice beneath their large, bulbous heads. Within the orifice are three jagged and razor-sharp teeth. Octoids can levitate but are much quicker when scurrying around on solid surfaces with their tentacles. Despite their resemblance to sea-creatures, water affects octoids as if it were fire or scalding hot liquid. They are immune to the affects of cold and can survive in the vacuum of space indefinitely.
