Octopus

The octopus is a new passive mob, despite it's giant teeth. It was added in the Minecraft beta 1.2 update. Octopuses drop ink sacks when killed and can be found in water.

Behavior
Octopuses swim around at the bottom of the water they're in, this can be any level of depth. So most of the time they are fairly deep water, sometimes in groups. Since underwater is so dark, they can be very hard to spot.

-Unsure: Octupuses appear to be attracted to light deep underwater- -reason: so far the only octopuses ive found where outside my underwater base-

Drops

 * 1-3 ink sacks
