Tentacus Scavana is what the scholars call the tentacle crawler. Regardless of its fancy name, most care little for it or what it’s called. This large, segmented insect, usually found in dark places, is feared across the world.
A tentacle crawler looks like a giant centipede with five octopus like tentacles emerging from its head. It roams the darkness in search of prey, using its tentacles to grapple it while it stings with its barbed tail. The best place to attack it is in the center, as far from either end as you can get, although it is quite capable of twisting to reach you wherever you slash it.
