two tentacles to hold a shield.

Your tentacles will try to constrict foes which you attack in melee. (You cannot
constrict monsters larger than you.) Independently, you have a two-thirds chance
of launching a damaging 'squeeze' attack whenever you attack in melee.
%%%%
mertail mutation

Your morphogenic matrix is unstable, allowing your lower body to shift to
a powerful aquatic tail when in shallow or deep water. It will quickly

ranged attack (+1 line of sight), but also allowing you to be seen and
potentially targeted from further away.
