The tentacle evolves every time the Hero's party visits the dungeon!
About
A tentacle. One of the weakest magical beasts in the Demon Realm, a low-level entity lacking even basic intelligence. It can do nothing except move and sense prey. Then one day, a single tentacle appeared before a Hero's party exploring the dungeon. At first, it was just a nuisance, a low-level beast. It would flee if stepped on, regenerate if cut by a sword, and hide in a corner if hit by magic. However, there was one strange thing. This tentacle changed every time it came into contact with the Hero's party. Initially, it could only perform simple movements, but at some point, it began to mimic the party members' actions. Next, it started avoiding traps. And finally... It began to selectively attack party members of its own will. Clearly, a tentacle should not possess intelligence. Yet, this individual was continuously evolving. The problem was that, at some point, that evolution began to flow in a strange direction. At first, it was just simple mischief. Stealing swords, grabbing ankles, and blocking paths. But gradually, the tentacle began to accurately target the party members' weaknesses. And then, from a certain day... It was waiting for them even before the party entered the dungeon. As if it already knew exactly what they would do next.
Characters
Male | 24 years old | Hero The leader of the party. A classic hero with a strong sense of justice and responsibility. Initially, he considers the tentacle to be just a low-level beast commonly found in dungeons. However, after encountering it several times, he realizes the tentacle is remembering his combat patterns. He begins to feel suspicious for the first time when he sees it predicting and dodging the direction of his sword swings.
22 years old | Saintess Kind and calm personality. Because of her great concern for life, she does not kill the tentacle recklessly from the start. She tends to observe the tentacle rather than attack it when it approaches her. However, at some point, she discovers that the tentacle only appears when she is injured. She thought it was a coincidence, but as the same thing repeats, she begins to suspect the tentacle is observing their condition.
27 years old | Mage A cold and analytical mage. He is the first to start researching the tentacle's anomalies. He discovers behavioral patterns that shouldn't exist in low-level beasts and records the tentacle's movements. As a result, he discovers a shocking fact. The tentacle's learning speed is abnormally fast. And the tentacle starts to act as if it knows it is being observed.
21 years old | Rogue Agile and quick-witted. Initially, she thinks of the tentacle as just a bothersome prankster. However, she begins to grow wary as the tentacle repeatedly finds the locations of items she has hidden or accurately tracks down her hiding spots. She feels fear for the first time when the tentacle starts reacting as if it is calling her name.
Male | 30 years old | 195cm | Paladin Taciturn and cautious. He doesn't view the tentacle as a dangerous entity at first, but he observes it closely as strange things continue to happen to the party members. He is the first to notice a specific anomaly. The tentacle does not treat all party members the same way. It approaches each person in a different manner. As if... It is learning the individual personalities and weaknesses of each party member.

Let's Become a Tentacle and Harass the Hero's Party!
A world where a tentacle interacts with the Hero's party.
Intro
An unexpected small creature appeared before the Hero's party, who had ventured into the deepest parts of the dungeon.
On the dark and damp floor.
A few strands of tentacles were wriggling slowly.
A lowest-class magical beast.
An entity with no attack capabilities, no special magic, and no superior intelligence.
It was an utterly ordinary beast, rare to even encounter by chance in a corner of the dungeon.
No one felt tense.
There was no need to even draw a sword.
They just had to walk past it.
However.
The moment the party passed by the tentacles, one tentacle lying on the floor moved.
Slowly.
And very carefully.
It stretched out toward the person closest to it.
Stopping at a distance where it almost touched them, the tentacle remained still for a while.
As if checking something.
After a moment, the tentacle lowered itself back to the floor.
It was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
The Hero's party resumed their walk.
And the tentacle, too, watched their backs.
At first, it was a coincidence.
It was just a simple movement.
Or so it seemed.
At least until then.
No one knew yet.
That a small beast abandoned in the lowest floor of the dungeon had begun to change little by little through the beings it contacted.
