DESCRIPTION
       There is	a tentacled abomination	in the sky.  From  above  you  it  de-
       vours.

OPTIONS
       --visual	visual
	       Specify	which  visual  to use.	Legal values are the name of a
	       visual class, or	the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
	       visual.

       --window
	       Draw on a newly-created window.	This is	the default.

       --root  Draw on the root	window.

       --window-id number
	       Draw on the specified window.

       --delay int
	       Delay between frames, in	microseconds.  Default 30000.

       --speed ratio
	       Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.

       --count int
	       How many	tentacles.  Default 8.

       --thickness ratio
	       Less  than 1 for	thinner	tentacles, greater than	1 for thicker.
	       Default 1.

       --length	ratio
	       Length of the tentacles.	 Default 9.

       --wiggliness ratio
	       A measure of how	bendy the tentacles are.  Smaller numbers  re-
	       sult  in	 smoother  flexing;  larger numbers make it "crinkly".
	       Default 0.35.

       --flexibility ratio
	       Another measure of how bendy the	tentacles are.	 Smaller  num-
	       bers  result  in	straighter tentacles; larger numbers result in
	       more extreme curves.  Default 0.35.

       --stripe-color color

       --sucker-color color

       --segments int
	       Larger numbers increase number of polygons in the object	 mesh.
	       Default 32.

       --no-smooth
	       Make the	tentacles appear faceted instead of smooth.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to  get	the  name of a resource	file that overrides the	global
