The Venomous Tentacula is a green, spiky, toothsome plant with mobile vines that try to grab living prey. Venomous Tentacula expels venom from its shoots, and its spikes are poisonous. Its bite is highly poisonous.

This dangerous plant is used for student research in Herbology classes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Students are permitted to swear loudly if a Tentacula tries to strangle them during lessons.

Venomous Tentacula leaves

Venomous Tentacula seeds are Class C non-tradeable items. Fred and George Weasley purchased Tentacula seeds off Mundungus Fletcher in 1995 for their Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes products. Tentacula seeds emit a faint rattling noise even if they are completely stationary.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, Neville Longbottom and Pomona Sprout used Venomous Tentaculas as a weapon against invading Death Eaters.

[edit] Behind the scenes

In the film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Horace Slughorn states that Venomous Tentacula leaves are worth ten galleons a piece.
