<p>
A murky pool with a beautiful, especially rare water flower floating on its surface. If players approach, an ancient and powerfully hungry octopus launches itself onto the player's face (Reflex save DC 15 negates).
</p>

<p>
The octopus squeezes the player's head for 1d8 damage every round until destroyed.
</p>

<p>
Any attempt to destroy the face-hugging octopus has 50% of doing another 1d8 collateral damage to the player.
