LOLA

The Great Wenarkian Tentacle monster is a fearsome creature, topping the food chain on its home planet of Wenark and viscous enough to keep even the bravest explorers from exploring the place. It conquers via seducing its prey through various trickery, bringing it greatest pleasure before ultimately consuming it once it's paralyzed in a state of bliss. This is not a creature one would want roaming loose on their world.

Unfortunately, where there is money to be made, risks are often ignored.

Many decades ago, a huckster got the grand idea of cashing in on the exotic pet trend and caught hundreds of tiny baby tentacle monsters to sell back on his home planet. They came in small plastic containers, complete with tiny plastic island and palm tree. He boasted that they could be kept alive on 'tentacle monster flakes' given once a day, and that they would never grow bigger than a golf ball.

Of course, he was lying.

The good news is that the police force of the planet caught him within a week of when he'd begun selling his illegal pets and safely disposed of them.

All, that is, but five that had gone missing. The underground exotic pet market was in a frenzy. Every collector of rare carnivores was willing to pay top dollar for one of the Greater Wenarkians that had managed to remain unaccounted for. Police were also very adamant about finding the lost monsters, as if any two found each other they were capable of reproduction.

One of the creatures fell into the hands of a very rich collector indeed. A man who adored and lovingly raised his pet, Lola, with the utmost of care. He taught the intelligent beast how to communicate in English. He stared danger in the face and allowed Lola to even share his bedroom. The man trusted the monster and fawned over him with all the attention and care he was capable of providing. Eventually, he boasted to his friends about how he'd tamed the most dangerous creature in the solar system.

He was found dead in his mansion within a decade. Truthfully, saying he was found dead is being generous. There was nothing left of him but a few bones. And Lola was nowhere to be found.

In his years of freedom, Lola has managed to control his natural urges to simply eat his prey. Rather, his goal is to populate. And thanks to his rather unique inner workings, he doesn't need his partner to be of his same species to do so. He has refined the art of seduction, capable of being patient when it comes to luring in those he targets.
