The Three Eyed Land Sextopod, colloquially known as "The Green Nightmare", is obviously a mad mage's experiment gone wrong. We say "obviously", as all specimens encountered (with actual survivors on the "encountering side") have been sexless, therefore the conclusion that these are magical creatures. Well, that and the three aye / four tentacles dealie ;)

Green Nightmares do not retreat from combat, but if they have secured food (otherwise known as a victim) they are happy enough to leave other creatures be so long as they are left to feed unmolested.
