The only way to get them is to have standard "Hydra" as the group in whatever trigger you're using (I use them in an ambush). That means sometimes you'll get hydra men mixed in with the tentacles - or even no tentacles at all depending on the level range.

I still can't understand why they aren't manually selectable from the list of Hydra enemies, unless they were eliminated at the same time as the level 41 Rikti from the Abandoned Sewer Trial were elminated, and for similar reasons.
Creepy tentacles coming out of the ground are iconic, and we should be able to use them specifically, rather than just a mix of Hydra men and tentacles--or just Hydra men if the level range isn't right.
Aliana: Not precisely true.
You can create a custom group and add 'random Hydra Minion' (and/or lt., and/or boss), and it will produce random hydras as part of the custom group.
So you can 'rebrand' tentacles and hydra men as some other group, mix with other enemies, etc.
The annoying limitation is that you can't JUST have tentacles or eyetentacles -- it's going to add in the bipeds.
But you CAN add just the bipeds to custom groups. Which is weird.
I was able to have Hydra Tentacles in my AE mission. I know Hydra Tentacles will spawn in level 20 to 25 range. You can check out Arc ID 1493.
I believe CoT or DE has a brown tentacle. It's listed as a boss but has HP like a pet and gives no xp.

Not bad. Those ambushes were mostly tentacles, with only a couple Hydra men mixed in. I suppose I can live with that.
Thanks to everyone for your answers.
And let me reiterate, just on the off chance that a redname might actually read this (lol), that we should be able to select Hydra Tentacles manually.
I'm sure I've seen Hydra tentacles in AE missions, but when I attempted to include them in a custom group for a horror-themed story arc, I couldn't find them. They're definitely not listed among the "Hydra" enemies, and they're not showing up anywhere else I can see, either.
Were these enemies removed from Mission Architect? If so, why? And why don't I see it mentioned in the patch notes? If not, then where are they?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
