A character, usually an anthropomorphic octopus or squid, but often an alien or monster of some kind, has tentacles in lieu of hair. Most of the time it's solely an aesthetic design choice, made to make the character more visually appealing. But sometimes it's [[PrehensileHair prehensile]] and used for combat or quality-of-life purposes. The tentacles can completely replace their hair, or it can extend out of it, usually as an alternate form of sorts.
Prevalent in works on the human end of the SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism. Can also act as AlienHair to show how bizarre the character or their species is.
Compare HairWings, {{Medusa}}, and {{Cthulhumanoid}}. For the purposes of the trope, tentacle beards and moustaches also count.
