Any D&D players might have noticed what appears to be an Illithid at the 1:00 mark in the trailer.

I know Elder Scrolls has an animal called a Netch that has tentacles but from what I can gather they are more like normal animals than intelligent enemies.

This creature has arms, octopus tentacles instead of legs (it appears to float) a large mouth on its torso and the head of an Illithid.

Anyone know what it is?

Reading is good. It improves your vocabulary, expands your imagination and provides endless amounts of information.

Some have speculated it's one of these:

Not sure how likely that is given that Dagoth Ur is gone.
It's been said Hermaeus Mora is involved in the DLC, and he's a tentacle monster, so it may a minion of his.

Most likely it's an as of yet unnamed lesser minion of Hermaeus Mora, since it's all but confirmed we're going to Apocrypha as part of the DLC.
