D&D Octopodes Race
(also known as Octofolk)

The Octopodes, often called Octo­folk, are an aquat­ic race that make their home in the deep seas of the D&D world. While they can sur­vive tem­porar­i­ly on land, their cities and set­tle­ments are pri­mar­i­ly under­wa­ter. They share their envi­ron­ment with oth­er sea-dwelling peo­ples and often live in caves on the seafloor or in the mys­te­ri­ous sunken city of Atlantis. The under­wa­ter com­mu­ni­ties are col­lec­tive­ly gov­erned by a coun­cil of lead­ers, which includes rep­re­sen­ta­tives from mul­ti­ple sea races.
A mem­ber of the Octo­folk race is also part of this
coun­cil. Every five years, a new king or queen is
elect­ed to make final deci­sions for the under­wa­ter
realms.

Appearance and Traits

Octo­folk resem­ble a cross between a humanoid and an octo­pus. They have a head rem­i­nis­cent of an octo­pus, with large eyes and soft, flex­i­ble skin. Instead of legs, they have mul­ti­ple ten­ta­cles that allow them to move flu­id­ly and quick­ly through water. In addi­tion, they have two func­tion­al arms that enable them to hold objects or wield weapons. Like real octo­pus­es, they can expel ink, a skill they often use to escape dan­ger.

Religion

Both the Octo­folk and the Whale­folk wor­ship a pow­er­ful sea deity known as Thal’Krabb, the Guardian of the Depths. This god appears in visions as a mas­sive crab adorned with gold­en orna­ments and ruins on its shell, as if ancient ships and tem­ples have set­tled upon its back. Thal’Krabb sym­bol­izes immense pow­er, the vast mem­o­ry of the ocean, and the unpre­dictabil­i­ty of the sea. His fol­low­ers often build tem­ples in his like­ness, and his image adorns many shrines through­out Atlantis.
