Natural Attacks and multiple enemies

[simon hacker]

Quick rules Quesition as im slightly confused

If a creature had multiple attacks (a giant octopus with 8 tentacles or a Hydra with 5 heads for instance)can it spread these attacks amoungst multiple targets in the same round if in range?

I note that the rules for natural attacks say "Attacks made with natural weapons, such as claws and bites, are melee attacks that can be made against any creature within your reach (usually 5 feet)" but it dosnt actually specify that you can use all attacks on different targets.

or Does this mean they can only hit one target with extra attacks?

You can spread out the attacks. But tentacles and grappling and multiple opponents gets a bit confusing.

It doesn't matter if they're natural or manufactured.

You can share the love.

You can even take one 5 foot step anywhere in between.
