Glow Squid

The glow squid is a variant of squid found in dark underwater areas, typically in ocean depths, ravines and underground lakes. It has an aqua luminescent texture. The mob originates from Minecraft Earth.
==Spawning==
, schools of 2 to 4 glow squid spawn in water in complete darkness in the Overworld (except deep dark biome) below layer 30. Unlike most other aquatic mobs, they require no water or waterlogged blocks above or below their spawning space. 
, glow squid spawn anywhere where there is water underground, in schools of 2 to 4 (below a solid roof categorized as cave spawn, while squids are surface spawns) anywhere below Y=30. Glow squid have a 5% chance of spawning as babies.
==Drops==
* 1 to 3 s. The maximum amount is increased by one per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1 to 6 with Looting III.
* experience points when killed by a player or tamed wolf. 
* As with all other baby animals, killing a baby glow squid from Bedrock Edition yields no items or experience.
==Behavior==
Glow squid wander around aimlessly in three dimensions as long as they are in the water, opening and closing their tentacles, which gives them the appearance of pushing themselves leisurely forward.
Glow squid suffocate when out of water, dying after . While on land, they remain stationary until they suffocate. They can take fall damage and burn like any other land mob, but they cannot drown. When out of the water, glow squid are resistant to knockback.
Glow squid are passive toward the player. They are not attracted to light and do not deliberately interact with the player. Glow squid sometimes beach themselves and suffocate on the banks of rivers and occasionally on ocean beaches. These behaviors are shared with traditional squid.
Glow squid appear to glow, but do not produce light. They stop glowing for when harmed.
Glow squid cannot swim in lava, even if inflicted with . They simply pass through the lava and behave as if on land.
Unlike land-based mobs, glow squid can swim against a current and not get pushed by it.‌
Guardians and elder guardians attack glow squid in the same manner as they attack a player or regular squid. Axolotls also attack glow squid.
Because glow squid are aquatic mobs, they are affected by the Impaling enchantment.
Glow squid constantly produce crystalline particles around them. When attacked, they emit a cloud of turquoise ink particles and swim away. The particles and the ink remain remain visible when the glow squid has the status effect.
If the player is in Spectator mode or is far away from glow squid (often when they are in unloaded chunks), they remain stationary. When attacked in this state, glow squid cannot flee.
