Darkling Tentacles are known for their attempts to defend themselves, and as such should a dangerous lifeform such as a powerful bounty hunter and the Luminoth forces, the tentacle will begin swinging wildly to repel the foe, presumably trying to protect all of Ingkind as it could otherwise simply retract to its place of origin through the portals located behind it if it were simply trying to protect itself. Like most Ing, they dislike bright light and a bright flash will cause it to retract through its portal temporarily, further justifying that they are trying to protect all of Ingkind when dangers pass.

- The Darkling Tentacle is an Ing/Darkling that is essentially a long tentacle that protrudes from walls, most commonly in narrow corridors. They are native to Dark Aether. It is insinuated that they are part of larger organisms, using portals to fit their tentacles through to capture and drag prey from another location on Dark Aether.

| Text
| - Some darklings can open dimensional portals at will. They will use this ability to hunt for unwary prey, reaching out to snatch them with their tentacles. Once ensnared, the prey is dragged to its doom. The tentacles are resilient: pure light energy can disrupt them. Nothing can destroy them.

| - The Darkling Tentacle is an Ing/Darkling that is essentially a long tentacle that protrudes from walls, most commonly in narrow corridors. They are native to Dark Aether. It is insinuated that they are part of larger organisms, using portals to fit their tentacles through to capture and drag prey from another location on Dark Aether. When a dangerous life-form (such as Samus and presumably Luminoth) approaches the Darkling Tentacle, it will begin swinging wildly to repel the foe. Like most Ing, they dislike bright light, and a bright flash will cause them to retract back behind the wall, allowing passage. These Darklings are very fast and hard to hit even with the Power Beam. They are indestructible, and their behavior greatly resembles that of the Reaper Vine and Aqua Reaper from Tallon IV and the Whipvine encountered on the BOTTLE SHIP.

Like most Ing, they dislike bright light and a bright flash will cause it to retract through its portal temporarily, further justifying that they are trying to protect all of Ingkind when dangers pass. The tentacles are capable of very swift movement, making it hard to hit them, even with such technology as a fast-firing Power Beam. Perhaps due to the actual size of the unseen organism, hitting them with conventional weaponry will not destroy them, and they will thereby always return to their wall placement if given enough time. They could be found everywhere in Dark Aether except for the Sky Temple; why they are absent from only the Sky Temple is not readily understood. They fill a similar niche to the Reaper Vines and Aqua Reapers on the planet Tallon IV as well as the Whipvine only known upon the Bottle Ship.
