As One (Ex): See Symbionts for details.

Attachment (Ex): Tentancle whips deal 1 point of permanent Dexterity damage.

Collective Ego (Ex): Tentacle whips have an Ego Score of 9, as per the symbiont sub-type. Unless created otherwise, they are always lawful evil and is always in the service of the daelkyr lords of Xoriat.

Item Slot (Ex): Tentacle whips attach to a wrist slot.

Magic Sting: The sting of a tentacle whip is always considered to be magic for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Host Benefits:

Weapon (Ex): When the tentacle whip is worn, it is considered to be a Scorpion Whip +1 except that it has 15' reach instead of the normal 10' and the host is always wielding it, even though it occupies the wrist slot, not one of the host's hands. If an attack with the tentacle whip is successful, it also injects poison as detailed above, except the saving throw DC is 10 + 1/2 host's Hit Dice + host's Constitution modifier. It is important to note that the As One ability above does apply with the tentacle whip's 15 feet of reach for the purposes of touch-delivered effects.

Improved Proficiency (Ex): When the tentacle whip is worn, the host is considered to have Agile Maneuvers, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (scorpion whip), Improved Disarm, Improved Trip, Improved Steal and Weapon Finesse as bonus feats, but only as they apply to using the tentacle whip. These benefits stack, as per usual, with the weapon qualities of a scorpion whip (like disarm and trip).

Telepathy (Su): A tentacle whip can communicate telepathically with its host, if the host has a language.
