Tentacles are motionless creatures that hide in [[Marsh|Marsh biomes]]. They are initially hidden from sight, but a small purple spot emerges from time to time thus pointing their location. Tentacles are hostile towards all creatures and will immediately attack them provided those creatures get close enough to the tentacle. Not only do tentacles hit hard, but each tentacle attack lashes back and forth hitting their enemy twice. Tentacles will hide again on the ground if your character moves too far away from them so you cannot use ranged weapons unless you're at melee range (and, since most ranged weapons deal less damage than melee ones - except [[Blow Darts]] - using ranged weapons is subpar). |

| − | Tentacles are kiteable, but their attack range is large and attack period |
+ | Tentacles are kiteable, but their attack range is large enough and their attack period fast enough (you can only land one attack before their attack period resets) to make kiting very difficult to master (and, since tentacles strike twice per attack, mistakes do cost a lot). Unless you master tentacle kiting the only way to kill an isolated tentacle is head-on with the best armor you can wear. |
| − | + | Obviously, Tentacles cannot be lured towards other enemies but you can actually lure swamp denizens towards nearby tentacles, then attack the tentacle from behind once it engages the lured enemy. Tentacles spawning near other swamp denizens will eventually be killed by them, since merms and spiders do have spawning structures while tentacles do not. |

Another method you can use is to position Chester inside a tentacle's melee range, then it will attack Chester. Since Chester is a magnificent tank, he will soak up the shots and allow you to move in with a melee weapon (or ranged if preferred).{{Clear}} |
