'''Kanehachi''' (カネハチ), known in English as '''Tentaclam''', is an octopus-type [[Medarot]] that first appeared in the original [[Medarot 1|Medarot game]].

== Description ==

Kanehachi resembles a red octopus with 6 tentacles in the place of legs, and two more forming its arms. Its "head" actually represents the abdomen of the octopus while the central "body" features a face design. The arms have large anchors attached on wires, which Kanehachi can fire like grappling hooks to slow its opponents down. Its name is printed on its forehead in the form of the kanji symbol for 8 (八, "hachi"), with a smaller symbol above it (￢, read as "kane"). It also has a design around its head representing a headband (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachimaki hachimaki]), which are often worn by fishermen in Japan.

Its model number CLA most likely comes from a corruption of '''Kra'''ken, which is the [[Kraken Medal|type of Medal]] its parts are most compatible with. The "clam" in its English name '''Tentaclam''' comes solely from its model number, as the Medarot itself has nothing to do with clams.

The name "Tentaclam" was also used to refer to [[Kanehachi Mk2]] in the English version of the anime.

== In the games ==

Kanehachi is a multi-legged Medarot that attacks using [[Hold]] attacks to damage and slow its opponents. In Medarot 1, 2, R, and 2 Core, its parts have the [[Bind (attribute)|Bind]] attribute, which matches with the [[Kraken Medal]].

=== In Medarot 1 ===

Kanehachi is the sole user of [[Hold]] attacks, and one of the two Medarots capable of causing the [[Bind (status effect)|Bind]] status (the other being [[CoffinBat]]).

Its parts can be obtained early in the game from random battles in the harbor town area, or bought from a convenience store near the Venue area. An individual Kanehachi, called [[Takong]], appears as an optional boss after completion of the main storyline.
