Flaahgra has four Tentacles that protect the four weak spots at its base. These Tentacles are green, feature small red thorns, and whip at Samus if she gets too close. For this reason they are similar to a mace or flail. Each Tentacle obstructs a tunnel leading to a Bomb Slot under Flaahgra. The Tentacles themselves are capable of deflecting a majority of weapon fire. To remove the Tentacles Samus is required to knock out the Mirror Arrays giving Flaahgra energy. All Tentacles retract into the ground as Flaahgra is stunned, giving Samus an opportunity to damage Flaahgra. If Flaahgra recovers before she can attack it, she will be ejected from the tunnel and whipped by the Tentacle. Each Tentacle is destroyed along with its tunnel.

- Found In: Chozo Ruins
- Recommended Weapon: Morph Ball Bomb
- Weak Spot: Base of Flaahgra
- "The Flaahgra Tentacle has sharp thorns that can cause damage to anyone foolish enough to come too close. Once retracted, you can lay a Morph Ball Bomb it its Morph Ball slot at the bottom of Flaahgra's base. To get the Flaahgra Tentacle to retract, you must shoot down the reflectors surrounding Flaahgra. Once all the reflectors are out of commission, the Flaahgra Tentacle retracts and Samus can enter Morph Ball mode to roll into the tunnel and lay a bomb."
