School teacher. Wait, that's already been taken.

Maybe a chef, or a member of staff at an aquarium.

But I really like the chef idea. Imagine a bundle of tentacles wearing a chefs hat and apron, chopping up squid with a massive bucher's knife in a room full of flames.

At least the tentacle monster can stretch benis to the side to pee and not pee into a bottle.

How strong is the tentacles actually? Not just the strength to grip onto a young girl, but also to grip onto brooms, mops and rags? Also, motor function. There is a difference with flicking and accurately apply strength to clean the flower vase.

The tentacles' toughness and durability have a 20% penalty modifier. In comparison to human limbs, tentacles require only 80% of the force to grip a human arm off to tear a tentacle off.

You begin with 3 tentacles. You grow an additional one for every year you age. Max bonus tentacles number due to maturity is +13.

Suction cups like those on octopi require evolution pathway to octopus which only becomes available at the age of 3 (or when you get 6 tentacles).

Motor function is 3% less than that of a human's hand and arm.

Tentacles' muscle strength is about as strong as the grip strength of a newborn baby when you first spawn. However, your muscle strength increases exponentially.

Best job for a tentacle monster would be Air Traffic Controller. Used Car Sales Representative is also worth considering.

Question.

Why is a tentacle's motor function suck than a human hand?

I get that human hand has fingers, therefore the increased motor function.

Isn't there like an evolution path for the tentacle to sprout a "palm" at the end of said tentacle and have smaller tendrils as digits?

Hell, why stop at the tip of the tentacle? Why not make the entire tentacle "hairy" with small tendrils, with each tendril like a finger?

Ps. Fantastic at the tentacle amount cap.

Just why, why does it also have to remind me of my job's annual leave amount cap?

Each tentacle has independent intelligence like that of an octopus.

You are looking at an organism with far higher multitasking capacity than any average human.

Adding tendrils or twisting multiple tentalets to create a hand-like appendage is possible but it requires further metamorphosis with pathways that advocate it.

The more complexity you want to add to your creature, the harder it will become to control it. Therefore, in order to ease the control, additional nerves will also be added which results in your tentacles being very versatile. Being versatile means you won't be able to compete with things that were specialised for one or two simple jobs like human's limbs.

So the odds of growing a functioning teeth and mouth for suckling and a throat for throating are non-zero.

Deidara's hand mouths might not be useful in-universe, but the doujins he has sure makes good work of them
