The octopus is a new passive mob, despite it's giant teeth. It was added in the Minecraft beta 1.2 update. Octopuses drop ink sacks when killed and can be found in water.

Ink sacks are items that are dropped by Octopuses. They can be crafted with wool to make black wool.

Also somebody figure out how to make cake, I'm too lazy.
