You’ve seen tentacles with suckers, but the world of tentacles has so much more. For some, your insides are the coziest possible home. This particular specimen, an egg-laying tentacle, was caught in the middle of nesting season. During this time, they worm their way deep inside and practically leak a constant yet gentle stream of eggs into their hosts, slowly expanding them over the course of several hours. When they can’t find a safe place to lay, their sheaths will contract to restrict egg flow. The large ball on the lower shaft is not a knot but an extra large load of eggs waiting to be pumped out. Few have encountered these tentacles, and even fewer remained conscious long enough to remember. When they’re this late to laying, things get hectic, to say the least. These tentacles are set on rearranging your hole into an even more spacious interior in the shortest time possible. They’ll probe with their slender tips for a quick survey before bursting in, bulge and all.
