This looks to have the most complicated loot dropping mechanism. What's written here is mostly correct: you can only get maximimum one tentacle spike, one skeleton and up to four marsh turfs in the "global reset period" which covers all tentacles in a given cave, and which is approximately one game day +/- 1/5 of a day in length.

At any one time (after you kill the thing), assuming the drops haven't occurred yet during the "rest period", you can get: tentacle spike (50% chance), skeleton (10% chance), marsh turf (25% chance). You can get one of each in one hit, or none at all (like most chance loot drops).

In addition, you may also get the following (up to one of each): tentacle spots (40%), lightbulb (80%), slurtle slime (10%)).

Finally, it appears that the smaller tentacles don't always appear - it has to be a "tentacle garden" for that to happen (apparently). So in other words it's possible to find large tentacle pillars without smaller spawning tentacles (apparently). I say apparently since I'm not 100% sure if the "simple" pillar is ever created - could always be a "garden" for all I know.

Someone should probably confirm this before I jam it up there, but I'm pretty sure the part about the drops is correct - less confident about the tentacle "garden".
