Tentacles.

Melee Weapon Attack: +0 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 (2d4) psychic damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 7) and must succeed on a DC 7 Intelligence saving throw or be stunned until this grapple ends.

Extract Brain.

Melee Weapon Attack: +0 to hit, reach 5 ft., one incapacitated creature grappled by the squidling. Hit: 27 (5d10) piercing damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the squidling kills the target by extracting and devouring its brain.
