Born in the fiery seas of the Plane of Fire long ago, many magma octopuses wandered to the Material Plane through various portals and thinned barriers between the planes. They exist throughout the world, particularly in underground caverns with open lava flows, within the craters of some volcanoes, and swimming through underground networks of magma. \n**Intelligent.** Magma octopuses live simple lives with a quiet intelligence that slightly surpasses that of aquatic octopuses. They have no language and cannot communicate verbally. They are known to recognize individuals from other species and remember individuals that might have caused them pain or helped them out of a bad situation. Magma octopuses only fight others if they are attacked first, but they can become extremely territorial if intruders tread too close to home. They have a fondness for fire-based magic and sometimes can be recruited to serve as guardians for wizards, efreeti, and other powerful, fiery creatures. \n**Elemental Nature.** A magma octopus doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.", "name": "Magma Octopus", "size": "Large", "type": "Elemental", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "neutral", "armor_class": 16, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 147, "hit_dice": "14d10+70", "speed": { "walk": 40 }, "strength": 21, "dexterity": 17, "constitution": 21, "intelligence": 5, "wisdom": 8, "charisma": 7, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": null, "skills": { "athletics": 8, "stealth": 6 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "", "damage_immunities": "fire", "condition_immunities": "", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 9", "languages": "—", "challenge_rating": "8", "cr": 8.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The magma octopus makes four attacks with its tentacles." }, { "name": "Tentacle", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target.

Its piecemeal leather armor and weapon at the ready give the impression it is prepared for a fight._ \n**Foe to Reptilians.** While generally peaceful creatures, otterfolk bear an enmity for reptilians, owing to their near extinction in the jaws of giant alligators and other large swamp predators. They are wary of intelligent reptilian creatures, such as lizardfolk and naga, who regularly prey on their people. Otterfolk pass this animosity on to future generations through tales of heroic otterfolk overcoming ferocious snakes and mighty alligators. From the time an otterfolk kit can walk, it learns how to wield the atlatl and to be mindful of the presence of their hated foes. Otterfolk are wary of reptilian visitors or those accompanied by reptiles, but they are cordial to all others. \n**Swamp Guides.** Otterfolk are excellent sources of information about the territory surrounding their homes, and they often escort friendly visitors through the swamp. The price for this service depends on the combat capabilities of those they escort. Their overwhelming martial outlook causes them to value visitors who can prove themselves in combat. If a group seems capable of protecting itself, the otterfolk reason they don’t have to defend the group in addition to guiding it.

Otterfolk regard the animals warmly and become sad when favored pets die. They rarely allow their otters to engage in combat. They regularly hold contests where otter owners show off their training prowess by directing their otters in feats of strength, cunning, and dexterity. These contests never involve pitting the otters against each other in combat. The rare few otterfolk who choose to become wizards take otters as familiars.

The bat keepers often risk their lives to procure young, using the bats for protection and as companions. A bat keeper returns its shriekbat to the wild before the bat reaches adulthood, when it would become too large for the cramped kobold tunnels. A bat keeper tracks the shriekbats it releases, and often returns to visit its former companions.

They are social and promiscuous creatures that live in small groups in large caverns. They are omnivorous but prefer fresh meat to other food with lizards taking up the majority of their diet. Shriekbats can survive on rotten flesh, which allows them to eat ghouls and other undead populating the Underworld, but they find it less palatable.
