Steel appendage for Doctor Octopus (8)

I believe the answer is:

tentacle

(Other definitions for tentacle that I've seen before include "Slender flexible limb" , "Long flexible feeler" , "Octopus's limb" , "Appendage as on octopus" , "Flexible appendage on some animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
