Hailing from the shores of Kara-Tur, the tako are a race of intelligent octopi who can move upon land and use weapons and other tools. Unlike their aqueous cousins however, the tako only have one golden eye centered in their head, though they still have a sharp beak resembling the bill of a parrot. They are known for being very territorial and for wielding a great variety of weapons simultaneously. Though normally docile, tako attack any creature who invades their territory. In addition, they have a strong sense of honor, and will avenge attacks and ally with members of other races who assist them. Tako have no bones; their plump bodies are protected by a tough mantle of leathery skin, which they can change the color of to blend in with their surroundings or to speak their unique language, though the latter also involves the movement of its eight tentacles. When not hiding from monsters or to form an ambush, a mature male's natural color is light green, while a mature female's is orange-red. Young tako appear in a variety of colors, including black, brown, white, blue, and golden, but their color will eventually change to the standard of their sex once they reach adulthood.
