Tentacle

Auto-attacking whips that slap anything nearby. Some can grab and pull targets in.

Tentacles attack on their own, so they deal damage even when you are not lined up perfectly. That makes them a forgiving weapon for new players. In one run a tentacle cost 30 DNA in the editor.

Watch for the pull: a Persian creator noticed his tentacles grabbing a target and dragging it toward him, which sets up bites from your mouth. Two tentacles at the back also helped one player's speed, so they are not purely a weapon.
