- "It was a relief to get out into the greenhouses; they were dealing with more dangerous plants than ever in Herbology but at least they were still allowed to swear loudly if the Venomous Tentacula seized them unexpectedly from behind."
- — Harry Potter's opinion on Sixth year Herbology lessons[src]
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 deadly. Its bite is highly poisonous and can prove fatal.
Description
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. Diffindo can be used to both stun the creature and sever its arms.
Its appearance has varied greatly from adaptation to adaptation, but the most common form of it is a giant eye-less head with fangs, though the shape of its mouth tends to vary, along with many leaves surrounding it. It also has many large vines for appendage (that act like arms and as aforementioned can be severed by Diffindo), which may or may not also have separate heads of their own at the ends.
Occasionally, aside from biting, some forms of the plant can also fire spiky spore-like balls at their targets from there mouths.
Notable uses
Venomous Tentacula seeds are a Class C non-tradeable substance. 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 the invading Death Eaters.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Horace Slughorn states that Venomous Tentacula leaves are worth ten galleons a piece. Also in the film, Slughorn is caught by Harry stealing the leaves.
- In the game version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Pomona Sprout had a garden full of Venomous Tentaculas.
- In some of the video games, the Venomous Tentaculas live in some parts of the grounds. They spit out spiky ball-like pods, that bounce about and can be hit by spells. The Tentacula can also get burned up by the Incendio spell.
- Elphinstone Urquart, Minerva McGonagall's husband, was killed by a bite from one of these plants.
- Derwent Shimpling was famous for eating an entire Venomous Tentacula and surviving.
