Efficiency in dragging the enemies into the box, also isn’t suction power more effective than dragging them in through roots, rope and the like? Hell, tentacles can make it slippery and make it even more difficult to escape! Is my reasoning…just curious, what do you think they should replace with instead?
The loss in reputation is hilarious, bet there will be more degenerate heroes that actual heroes coming…I feel like I’ve heard that plot from a H manga before, wonder where…?
Well, the original D&D mimics were pretty much amorphous creatures that took on any form they could to catch adventurers, only to reveal themselves once they took them by surprise and kill them using their pseudopods, which later evolved into teeth/tongues/tentacles.
So yeah, it's not so much tentacle but more of an amorphous creature whose appendages took on a tentacle form.
