She's the leader; the leader takes the risks. Granted, he's right that he would be a far less attractive meal. Actually, depending on how much he weighs, the creature might not even be able to drag or swallow him...but she's not always logical about these things.
She's attentive, though, in a crisis, and she registers the warning and responds almost instantly, turning, dodging, and firing at the nearest tentacle. She's got excellent aim, and there's a resulting spray of ichor, which makes her grimade in disgust. The other tentacles twitch and writhe, like the shockwave or the sound has upset them, and they slide under the sand briefly, hiding but not gone.
And then the car's engine starts up. Throttle's doing his job, and he's doing it well, but the rattle and thrum of a V8 gets the monster's attention away from the other prey. Now it's turning and heading right for the vehicle...
