DEMOKIKI: It looked just like that. The tentalces were sort of deflated, and looked kind of slimy. It was like they pulled back in as far as they could, and then just lost any thickness they had. Then, a film-like material covered the head were the tentacles would normally come out. I didn't see brown jellylike substance aroud the healthy heads, though. I think WENDY is right. I think it was just the creature dying.

Thanks for the input, guys and gals!
