Kanehachi (カネハチ), known in english as Tentaclam, is an octopus-type Medarot from the original Medarot game.

Description

Kanehachi resembles a red octopus with 6 tentacles in the place of legs and the remaining two forming the arms. The arms have large anchors attached on wires, which Kanehachi can fire like grappling hooks to slow the opponent 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 hachimaki), which are often worn by fishermen in Japan.

Its model number CLA most likely comes from a corruption of Kraken, which is the 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.

In the games

Kanehachi is a Multi-Leg-type Medarot that attacks with Hold attacks. In Medarot 1, 2, 2 Core, and R, its parts have the Bind attribute, which matches with the Kraken Medal.

In Medarot

Kanehachi's parts can be obtained early in the game from random battles in the seashore area. It can also be bought from the convenience store near the Robottle World Championship stadium.

In Medarot 2

In Medarot 2, Kanehachi's parts can only be aquired by trading them over from Medarot 1. It was replaced by the new OCT-type, Kanehachi MK2.
