	Games - Tentaculat

The Tentaculat is considered to be the most fear-inducing member of the alien ranks in the X-COM universe.

Although it possesses no ranged attack capability and can use no conventional weapons, it can however attack though more insidious means.

The attack of a Tentaculat does not normally cause any damage to its subject (exceptions being attacks on HWP's and other aliens), instead it transmutes the unfortunate soul into a mindless zombie creature which may attack in a similar manner to the Calcinite.

This is not the end of things though, as when this zombiefied thing is destroyed a newly hatched Tentaculat rises from its corpse to start the cycle again.

These fearsome creatures are usually found in the company of Lobster Men and Tasoth, but have been observed with most of the alien races, and only ever in underwater locales.

They are always present throughout both Base and Artifact sites, and often accompany high ranking aliens on the larger vessels.

The average Tentaculat is very swift and has the ability to hover at any depth it desires.

It has a high degree of intelligence, and has no difficulty in pinpointing X-COM troops even in the inky depths.

It also has formidable resistance to Molecular Control attacks.

Its main weakness, however is explosives.

Any explosive damage received by a Tentaculat is increased by 50%, and most other weaponry affects it normally.Also incendiary ammunitions can damage a Tentaculat just as well,plus if the creature catches fire,it will not be able to attack anyone,randomly thrashing about.
