Hmmmm...
Yeah, that does sound kind of like a touch attack/attach mechanic. I'm tentatively for the attach version, but I'll let you guys sort that out, though.
I'm OK with a touch and attach attack for the suckers.

Here's something from the Fiend Folio that might help...
Attach (Ex): If an ironmaw hits with a tendril attack, the tendril, in addition to dealing normal damage, attaches to the opponent's body. A tendril draws a stuck opponent 10 feet closer in each subsequent round (no attack of opportunity) unless the opponent breaks free, which requires an Escape Artist check (DC 25) or a Strength check (DC 26). An ironmaw can draw in a creature within 15 feet of itself and bite with a +4 attack bonus in that round. An ironmaw can draw a creature into its space and attempt to engulf it as well.
A tendril can be severed by a single attack with a slashing weapon (made as an attempt to sunder a weapon) dealing at least 13 points of damage.
Tendrils (Ex): An ironmaw can attack with its four tendrils from up to 60 feet away. Anyone struck by a tendril takes damage, loses blood, may suffer illness, and risks being drawn toward the ironmaw's trunk.

I'm unsure where the 13 hp damage to sever came from--it appears arbitrary.
Adapting for our purposes...
Attach (Ex): If a sugo hits with a sucker-tentacle attack, the sucker-tentacles, in addition to dealing normal damage, attaches to the opponent's body. A sucker-tentacle can be severed by a single attack with a slashing weapon (made as an attempt to sunder a weapon) dealing at least x points of damage.
Blood Drain (Ex): A sugo drains blood in any round when it begins its turn with at least one sucker-tentacle attached to a victim. This blood drain deals 1dx points of Constitution damage per sucker-tentacle attached. Once it has dealt x points of Constitution damage, it detaches and slithers off to digest the meal. If its victim dies before the sugo's appetite has been sated, the sugo detaches and seeks a new target.

Updated.
For the psionics, its power level is 3/4 of that of an intellect devourer. In 3.5, intellect devourers have psi-like abilities with a manifester level of 7th. They have a few powers beyond those that were attack/defense modes in 1e.
I'd propose adding a few additional powers that fit its theme, and setting manifester level to 5th or 6th. Thoughts?
