| abstract | - Tentacles used for assault. More specifically, throwing cars at people or strangling them or impaling them or crushing them. They may also be used as (somewhat oversized) whips or bludgeoning weapons, as a tentacle is basically a flexible mass of muscle, and as such can impart a lot of force. This may also happen with serpents, worms, or other similarly long-bodied creatures, using their whole bodies as such. Combat Tentacles are frequently utilized by Stock Ness Monsters and, of course, Cephalopods. Possibly because of the unusual nature, the association with strange creatures like squid and its common use in Japan for molestation of innocent, attractive women, this is commonly a power associated with evil characters or at least dangerous animals that the protagonist needs to beware. Often a form of Lovecraftian Superpower. Compare Multi-Armed and Dangerous. Compare Tentacle Rope. See also Spider Limbs, Partial Transformation and Tail Slap. Examples of Combat Tentacles include:
