When all six tentacles are dislodged, then the Draconoloth will lose its immunity to being charmed, it will lose any proficiencies towards charisma skills or saving throws, it will gain disadvantage against charisma saving throws and saving throws against being charmed and frightened, and it will become vulnerable to psychic damage.
