Tentacles. 4 of them. different looks, but they all act the same. Could be hair, Doc Ock knockoff, real tentacles, semi translucent psionc tentacles with fists on the end, etc. All the tentacles originate from the back of the character. they would stretch melee distances only.
*** this would not be for launch.
one set of animation with one set of attacks you could buy at the store
1) The tentacles would lash out ahead to strike the target,
2) deliver at area effect attack.
3) a high damage attack could translate to all fours striking the target at once or like a punching bag.
4) a tentacle could detach and entangle the target.
otherwise the tentacles just sit there repeating a slight movement as if in water.
No need to make walking with the tentacles or anything like that. just the attacks.
the key is to keep the attacks simple and limit the animation to just the series of attacks.
*** I am not a Dev or an animator. I have no idea if this is plausible. BUT, is there a way to make this work?

I've already got a concept for a character who's part/host to a/horribly mutated into an eldritch monstrosity. Tentacles would be ideal.
Henticles!
Four chickens on tethers, fluttering about?
Be Well!

You do realize there's probably at least one weird person out there who would find the image of "four chickens on tethers, fluttering about" [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentai]sexually stimulating[/url]...

And in the interest of T for Teen, say no more.

Well at least you can't blame me for this one... Brand X was the one who came up with the strangely appropriate pun of "Henticles!"

I wouldn't automatically jump to the conclusion that because one NPC might have a "tentacle cloak" that it'll be available to all PCs in CoT. Something like this might turn out be a unique "experiment" to test the technology before something like that became commonly available to everyone.
Remember there were several cases of this in CoH. For instance Ghost Widow was the first attempt to provide a character in-game with animated hair. It was a primitive attempt (by today's standards) that never became available to PCs in CoH.
So while it might be nice to have "tentacle cloaks" in CoT let's not get your hopes up until we actually see something like that actually available.

You are right :) So, replace "guess" by "hope" :p
