Roper

Semi-intelligent, slime creatures distinguished by their many long, tentacular pseudopods. They can be found in Namco's 1992 Great Greed Gameboy roleplaying video game. After capturing something edible with these sticky appendages, a Roper inserts the meal inside its body so that it can be broken down and digested by various acids and enzymes. Ropers aren't big enough to devour larger organisms, like humans, but their pseudopods can still deliver painful lashings to the unwary. These gelatinous scavengers roam freely in the wilds of the Sushi Empire.
