I want to use a rig that would make the tentacles on my character behave similar to the Sentinels seen in the Matrix.

Sentinel (http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/matrix_creatures_04.html)

Any ideas?

Try using an ikSpline and use the cv of the curve to animate the tentacles.

I've tried, can I still switch it over to get a walking effect, stabbing with the tentacles?

Maybe I'm setting this up wrong. Is there a tutorial existing on how to set up the IK spline?

The Maya help has a good tutorial on how to set up a IK spline.
