It occours to me that a better annalogy would be wolves. Yeah. That fits.

Uh... Sligs. They're probably aboreal (Tree-dwelling), with only their two muscled limbs to support them. In the slig barracks of AE, you see them squirming across the floor, showing that their hands are not good at handling flat floors. Their tentacles would be good at handling items for eating or transport while their limbs moved them.
