If it covered your mouth and nose and kept blasting you with horrible smelling ink, I think there's a good chance it could kill a person since it looks pretty strong and slippery. You'd be getting weaker and weaker as you run out of oxygen.

I thought there was a chance that the octopus was going to suffocate him. Dude had already been holding his breath and then it looked like the octopus was going to keep his mouth covered, even after he surfaced.

I thought immediately it was going for his oxygen supply. I was like damn that is one smart animal. It noticed his one weak point and was like okay. I can rip that off!

Sad that it had to fight for its life against an overwhelmingly more powerful creature and despite identifying a good strategy and attempting it, it still died.
