count as a single limited action [5.0] for the creature on
its turn. The actions must stem from the tentacle in some
way--usually a Fighting, Shooting, or grappling attack,
but this is the GM’s call.
If the creature is a Wild Card, it rolls its Wild Die with
each tentacle action as usual.
If the being performs other actions on its turn, such as
Taunting or casting a spell, these and the tentacle actions
are affected by the Multi-Action penalty as usual.
