The tentacle arm is infact the Shambler arm, you uh... don't need to shamble with the tentacle arm to get robust punch wiggly boi.
1. I honestly somewhat agree that the headspider needs to be changed in some way, since it relies on DNA. This reply ties to point 3, since the Shambler costs DNA to enter, as well as leave. Unless you precisely turn off shambler at 25 DNA so you have 10 DNA left over, you won't get a head spider, and your round ends with the shamble. Hell it ties to point 2. Would you rather have a second life, or bring out a second player ad hoc, who doesn't know they are suddenly about to be a hand spider to have save you in a fight? Or a leg spider?
Cooldown mechanics maybe? Starts on cooldown already when the shift starts, maybe like a 15m cooldown? DNA total mechanic like Blob, every 50 DNA you get another head spider to use, which means a ling can have two lives if they die after reaching 10 absorbs as their shift objective? I dunno, but baseline spider I don't agree with anymore.
2. The limb critters are largely a pity mechanic. I have a heavy amount of ling rounds and I can tell you on one hand the number of times my limb critters have been helpful. The answer is once, and only because I had two really robust people I had just eaten, and they called out for it. Sadly post moment of awesomeness with them helping kill two officers, they didn't really do much else that round.
3. Shambler costing DNA to enter is absolutely fine. Its a last ditch beat em up in a tight space or rip my way through a window while ignoring stun mechanics and escape ability. Leaving Shambler costing a massive amount of DNA really sucks honestly, because it doesn't tell you it does it in the tooltip, and again, it usually cuts you off from being able to headspider.
