Orright, I'm wondering about something...  If you create a creature with multiple limbs and [GRASP] bodyparts and maybe even the [EQUIPS] tag if that helps anything, and then remove all other attacks, will it grapple its opponents or will it "push" them feebly?

Adding bludgeoning attacks that can latch on can only take you so far in regards to tentacled beasties.  If there is some way of making a critter that will only attack by grabbing and then wringing the life out of whatever it's attacking, that'd be grand.

I don't have much time to do the testing myself (what with my current task of learning to competently play the guitar in one month's time), so I'm posting this here in order to get some other grunts to do the work for me.  Cheers.

It seems to use both push and grappling.  Grabbing is, at least, a lot more common.

See example here.

Yes, grabbing is a lot more frequent with something that has grasps and limbs. Latching tentacle attacks are nice (I recall using them for the MA mod at some point), but ripping away chunks and the occasional throat doesn't look right. Unless they're some kind of fanged tentacles, or something.

What sort of tentacled creature are you planning, anyway, if you don't mind saying?

[Kagus]

Whatever comes to mind, really.  I'm currently thinking something along the lines of a great waterbeast that ensnares its prey and crushes their bones before dragging them into the murky depths.  Several large, thick tentacles without suckers.

Oh my... Now I'l definitely add demonic tentacled gophers to my game.

I'm torn between "Bwahahahahaha!!!" and "Ooh, I'll want a copy of that mod...".
