Tentacle (12): 1d crushing. Reach C, 1. This automatically starts a grapple, and starts a Constriction Attack the next turn. After grappling its foe with its rightmost tentacle, it uses its leftmost tentacle (requires an attack, and the foe can Parry but not Dodge or Block; if he is left-handed, he may Block but not Parry or Dodge) to insert a needle-like projection into its foe's torso. After a second, it starts do deal damage: 1 HT each second; this lingers until one second after the needle is removed. The tentamort is liquefying the victim's organs, and to heal this needs powerful magic!
