Hunting as the octofolk perform it is largely a matter of grabbing prey with the tentacles and dragging it into the depths to be speared by other hunters. This strategy is quite risky to the octofolk doing the grappling, so many octofolk hunters take to carrying nets. The veterans of these hunters are very skilled in the art of grappling and with the use of nets, such that almost no foe can avoid being ensnared by the octofolk, leading to members of other races referring to them as entanglers. |
