Alright, here\'s my idea. I can\'t think of a name as yet, but:
Description:
Deep, deep in dark damp lonely dungeons, black tentacled Things slither noiselessly through the tunnels, hunting rats and other vermin. Their size varies from that of a kitten to a large dog. They resemble slugs, but with more teeth, and with several sets of long tentacles, which they use to catch and paralyse their prey, and for movement - a sort of undulating slithering run.
They are solitary hunters, but they have the ability to telepathically call for help if in danger, summoning any of their friends who happen to be close by.
Overview:
* lives in very deep dungeons
* tentacled giant slug with teeth.
* hunts rats, but will attack solitary adventurers if they get too close.
* medium HP, low/medium attack
* if they get into trouble, they can telepathically call their nearby kin for help.
Attacks:
* tentacle whip - low physical damage, but also some weak poison damage
* grab and bite - leaps towards you, tentacles outstretched, attempts to cling and bite. Bites cause more damage than whips.
* telepathic scream - causes confusion, and summons help
Drops:
Nothing. (Can\'t think of anything that such a creature would own)
Possible extension: Nests, with Queens who would telepathically control their subjects (think shub-niggurath from quake)
