Ah, gotcha.<br/><br/>Well first off, yeah, a moving ZoC doesn't work too well against these monsters, as they don't generally move much.  Things may change a bit when you run into monsters being guarded by succubi...<br/><br/>...What, you didn't think tentacle monsters would be the only things you fight, did you? :P<br/><br/>Also, even though the monsters have a longer reach than strictly melee, they only threaten spaces directly adjacent to them, so you can still walk up to one without provoking attacks.
