I faced one in a game last weekend for the first time and almost lost my familiar after the thing swallowed him.It has regeneration. This became apparent as I was blasting it and it was regrowing quickly, so I tried numerous energy types unsuccessfully to get its special weakness and ended up just doing enough nonlethal damage to knock it out and save my well-warded familiar. The DM and I were talking about it after I eventually summoned up acid spitting beetles to dissolve it permanently while it lay unconscious trying to heal up."Regeneration (Ex)Bludgeoning weapons and acid deal normal damage to a tendriculos. A tendriculos that loses part of its body mass can regrow it in 1d6 minutes. Holding the severed portion against the mass enables it to reattach instantly. "OK, acid working to dissolve tenacious plant materials I can see. Why bludgeoning? We could not come up with a satisfactory rationale.Anybody able to think of one?</blockquote>
