Tentacruel (Japanese: ドククラゲ Dokukurage, German: Tentoxa, French: Tentacruel) is a Water/Poison-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald

It lives in complex rock formations on the ocean floor and traps prey using its 80 tentacles. Its red orbs glow when it grows excited or agitated.

Name origin

Tentacruel's name may be a combination of tentacle and cruel. Dokukurage literally means 毒水母, poison jellyfish.

Tentacruel is similar to the Portuguese man o' war, which is not a jellyfish but a cluster of polyps.

Tencruel's original English name was "Man O War".
