List of tentacles
Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Tentacles are an unusual type of monster that span more than one tile. The most common tentacles count as parts of larger creatures (such as krakens), so harming them will also harm their owner.
Tentacle types
- w
Kraken tentacle- The great crushing limbs of a terrible kraken. - w
Snaplasher vine- A tentacle-like plant controlled by a dryad which can be summoned by Summon Forest. - w
Starspawn tentacle- Tentacled starspawn ensnare those who wander the Abyss in an endless barrage of tentacles, then pull them into their waiting maw. - w
Eldritch tentacle- A curious, nightmarish thing of chaos from beyond our reality, summoned through a malign gateway.
Strategy
In order to deal maximum damage to the monster, try to hit as many tentacle segments as possible at once. A wand of iceblast or the Fireball spell can help you fight tentacles from a safe distance. Cleaving attacks are especially useful when fighting tentacles in melee.
