“He was very inquisitive and liked to push boundaries,” says Rob Yarrell, the manager of the National Aquarium of New Zealand. He slid across the floor during the night and squeezed his body through a narrow pipe leading to open waters. Inky, a male common New Zealand octopus, escaped his enclosure through a small opening. They even go through this unique form of RNA evolution that lets them evolve much faster than we can so they could gain-level intelligence much faster than we did.An octopus at New Zealand's National Aquarium made a break for freedom by slipping out of its tank, slithering down a drainpipe and escaping into the ocean earlier this year.
ok that was a bit more bloodborne than D&D, but it is still valid. We probably wouldn't recognize what they become. They could evolve to be just as intelligent as humans, though, with their minds being built differently from the ground up. They do all that without living in societies or having parents teach them. Yet this strange creature can solve complex problems and even hold grudges against people they recognize for years. Something scientists thought would be impossible because our intelligence evolved alongside social interactions. They can't talk in real life because their intelligence evolved around a solitary lifestyle. That would give it the same intelligence as the early edition orcs. Scientists know for a fact that they have an intelligence similar to an 8-10-year-old child. But there has to be some way for the game to give it the intelligence it deserves. I get the mechanical reasons that does explain it. Possibly simply a failure in the system, I've seen it speculated that the dinosaurs tend to have high Wisdom scores to prevent targeting of their Wisdom scores in gameplay (although to be fair, Wisdom might stand in for animal cunning and perception). With the short lifespan of octopi in mind and their (presumable) lack of an education of the type considered by humans, any potential for education doesn't necessarily translate well to a high Intelligence score in-game. It is entirely possible that with the claim of Wisdom as how "attuned to the world around you" you are it is supposed to simply be knowledge of other things, although to be fair there is the explicit inclusion of intuition (and possibly Emotional Quotient, in the empathetic response potentially involved in animal handling and insight into another's motivations), as with medicine, where (as I understand it) practical experience in correct diagnosis and treatment is not neccesarily in line with the recollection of education in part represented by Intelligence. There is a claim that the intelligence stat in part represents logic and deductive reasoning, but the official description of the Intelligence based investigation skill seems to overlap a lot with how Wisdom works. Well, after reading the official stat descriptions again, this still isn't clear to me. Monstrous Compendium Volume One: Spelljammer Creatures
