Someone refresh my memory: What does HS mean again?

I dunno ... an ST of 40 seems high for a 3HD creature.  There 
ought to be some provision for both cutting off the creatures
tentacles and getting in a stunning shot to the brain (perhaps
a hit to the head hex of the creature that does more than 8
points of damage (assuming you weren't aiming for the tentacles).
