Tentacled Terror	comment	Octopoids and other tentacled creatures are often depicted as terrifying monsters. Squids and octopi dwell in the deep ocean where they can sometimes reach immense sizes, they move strangely with their incredibly non-human anatomy, and they are remarkably intelligent. But mostly, they have tentacles. These are usually seen as completely alien and disgusting: they are slimy, have a whole lot of suckers, and move in an incredibly unnerving fashion. Given all these factors, it is only natural to see many works of fiction featuring creepy octopi as scary monsters the hero has to fight. But it doesn't have to stop to mere cephalopods: some have noticed that cephalopod's tentacles are so creepy and unnerving that they could considerably crank up the horror meter of other monsters, and decided that they could be used on creatures even more menacing than actual cephalopods. Cue the various Mix-and-Match Critters like cecaelias, Cthulhu-like Eldritch Abominations and a plethora of monsters with entirely gratuitous tentacles. As far as non-cephalopod tentacled animals go, jellyfish are also prone to this trope- the fact that some of them really do look like they're from outer space definitely helps. Super-Trope to Giant Squid. The Cthulhumanoid and Octopoid Aliens rely very often on this trope as well. May overlap with Stealthy Cephalopod when evil cephalopods are sneaky masters of disguise. Contrast (or sometimes overlaps with) Funny Octopus. Frequently overlaps with Combat Tentacles and the "Kraken" part of Kraken and Leviathan.

Crabsquids are the closest, though their limbs are, as the name might imply, somewhat more crab-like than tentacle-like. The only other creatures with tentacles are the Sea Dragon and the Sea Emperor, and they mainly use them for propulsion rather than manipulating objects. And the Sea Emperor wouldn't count for this trope anyway: as scary as it looks, it's friendly.

The eponymous monster in The Dunwich Horror is also said to be "all made o' squirmin' ropes", suggesting that he — and his father, the god Yog-Sothoth — qualify as this trope. H. P. Lovecraft had a strange thing about tentacles and invertebrates in general, owing in part to a seafood allergy, and this has become a bit of a Characteristic Trope, to the point where any tentacled monster will probably be described as Lovecraftian (whether the term applies beyond the superficial or not), and when a work of his that doesn't involve tentacles gets adapted — such as with the above Dagon, an adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth — the adaptation will throw in tentacles anyway because that's what people expect. The Shadow Over Innsmouth might even count as a defiance of this trope, as the narrator specifically points out his relief that the Fish People, frightening though they are, "had no more than four limbs". This may be part of why they're ultimately treated more sympathetically, with the narrator deciding to join them at the end. The fact that they resemble fish more than molluscs, in Lovecraft's mind, might have made them a bit more palatable.

But when she goes into combat, that orb unfolds into dozens or hundreds of tentacles, covered in spines that latch onto enemies and then move back and forth to resemble a chainsaw before tossing the hapless beasts into her maw (sometimes not even entirely dead yet, until her extradimensional stomach disintegrates them). As she develops, she starts imbuing her tentacles with fear magic, and even obtains "soul seeker cilia" that can drive into an enemy's brain and push them over the brink of sanity.

Inside Elder-influenced maps, patches of grey tentacles appear on the ground, tentacled monsters can spawn, tentacles can emerge from the ground and slam the player, and tentacled portals can spawn and spew forth a stream of monsters until destroyed. Elder Items have a tentacled background.

They worship Dagon as their creator and live lives ruled by the urge to kill and feed. A more intelligent variant rules cities in the deepest abysses of the sea and regularly wars against other sea-dwelling races, but its intolerance for shallow-water conditions means that surface-dwellers rarely run into it.

They quickly realized that the trope was dated even then, and began to subvert (in "Celia" the humans don't act less monstrous), invert (in "Fleur" the monster is horrified by the butt-uglyness of the victim — long story) and spoof ("Orphee" is completely harmless and just has to play a monster in a B movie) it to hell and back.

Tentacled Terror / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: Krakens are gigantic, evil and highly intelligent Giant Squids who view the world as rightfully theirs and other creatures as either enemies to be destroyed or as potential slaves. One ancient kraken known as Kaktora was so powerful that the demon lord Dagon saw her a genuine enough threat to his rule over sea monsters to personally enter the Material Plane to kill her, while in the current day the kraken Zhanagorr took over the Tian Xian nation of Wanshou after saving it from a devastating typhoon — which he may or may not have been responsible for to begin with — and turned it into a rain-lashed quagmire ruled by evil sea creatures. Devilfish are smaller — although still larger than humans — seven-armed squid-shark hybrid monsters (presumably modeled on the creature from the movie Devil Fish), supposedly created when Dagon's blood and life essence mixed with Kaktora's tattered flesh.

They are mostly similar to skinny grey humans but with heads that look like an octopus with four tentacles, which they use to get hold of their victims' heads and eat their brains. They are also parasitic creatures that reproduce by implanting their tadpoles into the brains of humanoids, where they slowly feed on the victim's flesh and grow around its skeleton, eventually completely absorbing and replacing the host. Any humanoids that don't get their brains eaten or have embryos implanted in their heads are used as slave labor. D&D also has the Aboleths, gigantic tentacled fish with three eyes and psychic powers. Like Illithids and Kraken, they too enjoy enslaving humanoids.

While the River Octoroks are tame enough, Sea Octoroks are big, flail menacingly when you get close instead of hiding in the water, tend to come out of nowhere right in front of you and knock you out of your boat, have creepy yellow eyes and glowing blue spiked heads at night, and come in huge swarms. The Big Octos are building-sized, create storms and a whirlpool to pull you closer so it can suck you in and spit you out, have eyes all over their bodies which act as weak points and seemingly move around at random, and their location is marked by a flock of seagulls.

Na Kika was found by Monarch hibernating on the ocean floor atop a long-disappeared submarine, and when it wakes up, it plays dead and works out how to bypass the security measures implemented by the Monarch scientists around its resting site. Though Na Kika is normally benign, upon awakening it initially falls under King Ghidorah's sway, compelling it to attack and kill all humans. The Kraken of Skull Island is equipped with gigantic, suckered and venomous Combat Tentacles, and it's a lot more malicious than Na Kika. Seeking to usurp Kong as the dominant creature on Skull Island, the Kraken constantly hurls the remains of its kills onto dry land at Kong as a taunt, and it kills anyone or anything trying to enter or leave the island via the waters.

Theyâ€™re still sentient, but are severely devolved and now generally avoid or act hostile towards other races. One weird trait is that, for one year in their lives, they undergo a process called â€œkarvinasimâ€� that causes them to mutate into crustacean-like, land-dwelling forms; during that time, theyâ€™re completely animalistic and wander about on land, attacking anything in sight.

It also has elements of Dianoga as it lives in the sewers. Geralt fights it by combating its Combat Tentacles that act like they have a mind of their own. The second game has the Kayran, an enemy that is a combination of this and a Giant Enemy Crab. It has tentacles from a crab-like monster. It is the first real boss of the game and lives in the swamps.

A sequel, Octopus 2: River of Fear, was released a year later and features another giant octopus wreaking havoc in New York Harbor.

It turns out their underground habitats were falling apart and running out of power, and the theft was mostly intended just to fix it. While their leader DJ Octavio is still sore about the loss and does want revenge as well, by the time of Splatoon 3, many Octolings (the Octarian equivalent of Inklings) have realized that simply moving to the surface and integrating with Inkling society is also a viable option for their dilemma, thanks to most modern-day Inklings having all but forgotten about the Great Turf War (hence why Octolings have been fully playable from Octo Expansion onward).

Tentacled Terror / int_f7ed2fd7	comment	In The Little Mermaid (1989), Ursula the wicked sea witch is part cephalopod. Her first designs had lower bodies based on scorpion fishes and manta rays, but the designers decided to base her on an octopus instead since tentacles would add a "seductive yet scary aspect".

Tentacled Terror / int_f858847a	comment	Malamar from PokÃ©mon X and Y. Malicious-looking Dark/Psychic humanoid squids that are the Pokemon's equivalent of Mind Flayers. They can hypnotize others into doing their bidding, and it doesn't help that they are used by trainers for nefarious purposes. Its pre-evolved form Inkay is more timid and less overtly malicious, but it's still a Dark-type.

Tentacled Terror / int_f898a2fd	comment	Darkest Dungeon II: The hazardous routes in the Shroud are represented by tentacles lashing out from the water surrounding your path and battering the sides of your coach. It's presumably a cephalopod of some description given the oceanic theme of the Shroud, but its body is never shown.

Tentacled Terror / int_fbc58609	comment	The Nightmare Before Christmas: Downplayed with the Harlequin Demon. He's a monster with tentacles for hair. However, they're far from being the only noticeably strange parts of his design. Also, like most of the other residents of Halloween Town, he's not at all evil or dangerous, although he loves to scare people. His tentacles are not Combat Tentacles, but basically just for show.
