The '''tentacular''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}.
It is an aggressive and powerful variant of the [[king squid]] inspired by the mythological Kraken.
==Characteristics==
Tentaculars are enormous [[Aquatic family|squids]] that have light orange bodies with purple tinges on their head and mantle, as well as the suckers on their many tentacles. They are among the most dangerous {{MFamilies}} that can be encountered out at sea, being capable of attacking up to three times in a single turn in their original appearance.
The tentaculars faced in {{XI}} have grown to truly enormous proportions, matching those of their cousin [[Khalamari]], and are aided in battle by their left and right tentacles, which will attack individually and protect its main body. They are powerful enough to fling around ships with ease and unleash devastating attacks with their tentacles that can knock seafarers on their feet. The molluscs can now also breathe out both ice-cold breath and [[Sweet Breath]] as part of their offensive capabilities.

Reappearing from the start of Version 5 onwards, they are first seen in the Netherworld.

During the {{Party 11}}'s first visit to [[Lonalulu]], they offer to help out the villagers by defeating a Tentacular that has been terrorizing the village. If the player talks to the cannon lady in [[Lonalulu]], she tells them that Tentaculars hate loud noises and offers to lend the {{Party 11}} her kanono cannon. The {{Party 11}} sails out to sea where they encounter the sailors from [[Lonalulu]], who try to warn them about the rampaging squid. [[Sylvando]] will fire the cannon at the Tentacular, which will cause it and its tentacles to be confused at the beginning of battle and reduces their {{Attack}} and {{Defence}}.
In the 2D modes of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and {{Definitive Edition}}, the Tentacular is instead aided by a pair of [[Squid kid]]s in battle and will call for help if they are defeated instead of regenerating its tentacles.
