Tentacle Beasts are Animals.
Found in the rivers and moats of Act Two, Tentacle beasts are snake like monsters with a head that bites and spits, and tails that deal melee damage when attackers approach too closely. The tails can be killed without slowing the head, but if the head is taken out the tails will vanish beneath the surface, never to return.
These monsters never drop any items, but they can be leeched from and are worth experience points.
- All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Offense
The poison spit attack is a magical projectile and therefore always hits (barring blocking or avoid type skills). The damage is the same on all difficulty levels, which is surely a bug/oversight by the programmers.

Defenses
- Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec. Some monsters regen 50% or 100% faster.
- Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
- Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Resistances
- Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
- Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
