Flesh tentacle

A flesh tentacle is a body part added by the Anomaly DLC that acts as a replacement for a pawn's natural arm, increasing Manipulation at the cost of beauty and mood.

Acquisition

The Twisted obelisk may give your pawn a flesh whip in place of an arm when interacted with or deliberately triggered. You initial pawns can spawn with one in the Anomaly starting scenario.

The unnatural healing ability from creepjoiners have a chance to give the recipient a flesh tentacle in place of an arm.

Horax cult pawns can also spawn with one

Summary

Flesh tentacles replace the user's organic arm up to, and including, the shoulder. They are universal and can replace either the left or right. The flesh tentacle has a part efficiency of 120%. This not only fully replaces the functionality of a normal arm - when coupled with the arm body part having a Manipulation importance of 50%, it results in an increase in manipulation of 10% over natural for each flesh tentacle. Manipulation, in turn, affects a great many stats. For a full list of affected stats, see Manipulation.

The tentacle also inflicts a −1 beauty.

Finally, each tentacle inflicts −6 Flesh tentacle mood on its bearer unless they are inhumanized, have the body modder trait, or Body modification: Approved precept.
