I got a little closer to what I am trying to do using a lightning tutorial from YouTube, the wiggling and tentacle look are pretty much what I’m going for, but I still can’t figure out how to have them wiggling in place instead of emitting out from the center repetitively. The texture I have applied is taken from Particle Ribbon and is only a stand-in for the time being until I can get the particle system to behave in the way I want. This feels like a huge step in the right direction, though I feel hopeless in that there are no direct tutorials for what I am attempting to do.
