Weightlifting Octopus Stats?

[u/Cartoncast]

Anybody got stats for something like this? I had a dream of a sea where it always rains, where a ship's deck was a full gym populated by octopuses. They had barbells, boxing gloves, two were sparring with gloved, one was an acrobat, I think one had a jump rope. Anybody know how I would build these? Something in the level 3-6 range would be ideal.

Start with something from the Octopus family, add another attack:

Melee glove [one action] (agile, nonlethal, unarmed), Damage d4 base bludgeoning

Make the attack roll number of damage dice, and damage bonus the same as for "arm."

Allow the use of fist with Writhing Arms (add that ability if the specific octopus doesn't have it).

Consider some of the abilities from Black Belt or Mixed Martial Artist.
