==Also Called==
*Elastic/Extendable Tongue
*Frog/Toad Tongue
*Long Prehensile Tongue
*Tongue Extension/Lash
==Capabilities==
The user has the ability to make their tongue move independently, allowing them to function almost like an additional limb. These flexible tongues can grasp and manipulate objects with precision, enabling the user to lift, twist, or throw items as needed. Fully prehensile tongues can be used to hold and manipulate objects, and in particular to aid arboreal creatures in finding and eating food in the trees. Additionally, the user can use their tongue for offensive moves, striking opponents with swift, whipping motions or entangling and immobilizing them. This unique ability transforms the user’s tongue into a versatile tool for both combat and interaction with the environment, offering numerous creative possibilities.

*User may receive diseases from using their tongue to touch dirty things.
*Tongue may become stuck or damaged by target.
*May be limited to how far the user can stretch their tongue.
*Vulnerable to Cutting.
