Octopodes get -10% health. I don't think that's necessary. They'd still be one of the hardest races to play if they had normal health. Also, newer players often pick octopodes for some reason, and then never win, and then they get discouraged, and that's bad.

0 is just as arbitrary as -10.

Crawl species are not meant to be balanced. As it is, constriction (+ stealth) is a major boost in the early game, and octopodes can be fairly powerful later on if you win the jewelry lottery.

I think they should be able to wear cloaks, tho. Because the image in my head looks ridiculous and awesome.

At least I can't see a reason why they shouldn't wear a scarf. It doesn't even add to the AC, and an Octopode would look swell with a handsome scarf.

Exactly.
