Octopode

Octopodes are a Species in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Octopodes are sentient cephalopods whose defining trait is the ability to wear 8 rings, at the cost of the body, armour, cloak and glove armour slots. In addition, they have almost no natural armour. Octopodes are also capable of constricting enemies that they attack in melee.

The ability to wear 8 rings provides a fairly interesting late-game from Octopodes: hotswapping jewellery is rarely an issue, as there are more than enough slots to cover resists while providing utility and defense boosts. However, the early game tends to be tricky due to the lack of armour.
