Monsters: Cephalopods
And here's the last post about D&D 3.5 Monster Manual animals not represented in GURPS. I think now druids should have a big roster enough to choose animal companions or wild shape forms from.

Tentacle Grapple (26): The tentacles are not very strong, but the octopus has many of them.
Wrestling at DX+1 gives the octopus a ST score of 7 for the purpose of
grappling. The octopus has Constriction Attack. Effective skill 26 includes a
+14 bonus for using 8 tentacles at once. Reach C. The tentacles give +4 with
tasks that require a firm grip (including climbing).
Sharp Beak (13): thrust 1d-5 large piercing (KYOS: 1d-7 large piercing), Reach C.
Ink: An
octopus may fill a two-yard-radius area with black ink. No one can see into the
affected area, and no one within the affected area can see anything; see p.
B394 for combat rules. In addition, this ink cloud imposes a -4 penalty on
Smell rolls. An octopus can use this ability only 4 times per day, and only in
water or zero-G. Once created, the cloud persists for 10 seconds, drifting with
the current.
