Random Otyugh

Since it seems I'm on a theme of disgusting, slimy monster, it's time for Random Otyugh. Good thing this is text-based because I have no damn clue how to pronounce 'Otyugh'. "Oh-tee-yoog"? Or maybe "Ot-chyoog"? Maybe I should just call them "Ochu".
I'm still not sure wtf an Otyugh is supposed to be
but it's terrifying.
Foul. Disgusting, Diseased. Smelly. The Otyugh is a monstrosity which dwells in filth, with a large toothy maw and tentacles. In spite of it's horrific appearance, it isn't quite the mindless monster one would expect given it's appearance. However, few sane individuals would wish to spend time in the living cesspool of diseases and fungus that the average Otyugh lives in to pick a conversation. They are, by nature, scavengers and eaters of filth.

How much Hit Dice does it have?
