| + | Octopuses can squirt ink when threatened (or when controlled in the [[object testing arena|arena]] by using {{k|x}}-{{k|a}}). This has the effect of ''hiding'' the octopus from view (due to its [[interaction token]]), as well as preventing it from being {{k|v}}iewed or listed in the {{k|u}}nits menu. Octopus ink turns water a dark grey, similar to other [[contaminant]]s. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When controlling another creature, the {{dftext|You've spotted an octopus!|red}} message will appear. This is usually [[fun|not good]], as this means the octopus is only a step or two away. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In fortress mode (or in the main arena view), the appearance of an octopus will trigger the {{dftext|An octopus has sprung from ambush!|red}} message. This is also not good for your dwarves – unless they are well-trained, they can easily be drowned. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Due to the changes to stealth, the "you have been spotted" message no longer occurs if you squirt ink while in control of an octopus. Instead you'll instantly enter stealth mode, something available at any time anyway, even if you can be seen. | ||
