Who's genius idea was it to have a creature so cool like

I've played this game a thousand times but never beaten the whole thing even though I love it so much, I just kind of get distracted by other things every time. One day I was reading the manual and found out about the supposed tentacles and almost died of shock, to this day I haven't seen them in action and I don't even know what they look like.

They're rare as fuck, I can only remember seeing them a handful of times out of thousands of levels.

I don't think they can spawn on many maps; only watery maps from what I remember. I know you are supposed to put lairs near water to get passive XP boosts but lairs near water might be a spawn trigger.

If they take damage they will sit in the lair and heal for a whole fucking week, I kid you not.

Do they spawn at all? I thought they're just placed as neutral monsters on the map.

According to DK wiki page, tentacles are attracted by large temples and access to water.
I was lucky enough to attract a few of them, but didn't like them. I'd rather scavenge a shitload of vampires instead.

there have to be tentacles in the map's creature pool as well, otherwise they won't come even if you build a temple. I think there is only one map in the OC that has them in the pool, 16.

They prefer a lair bordering water but do not require water access, this can be verified in a multiplayer map (run the -1player command line to access these)
