Malboro Vine

Malboro Vine , also called M-Tentacle or Malboro Tentacle, is a recurring item in the Final Fantasy series. It is, as its name implies, typically acquired from the Malboro enemy and has varying uses, mostly associated with Poison.
Dissidia Final Fantasy makes mention of Malboro Tentacles being used in many things in the summon files for the Malboro. "Malboro wine" is among the most famous of the products refined from the tentacles due to its pungent scent.
