* Some squids weigh several tons
* appear to be a neon color when they swim.
* are able to change color rapidly by contracting and expanding pigment granules
  - abundant in all oceans of the world
  - another type of mollusc - and are still gelatinous zooplankton
  - cephalopods
  - generally abundant, because they mature fast
  - located in sea
  - obligate predators in nature
  - one animal that live in both Antarctica and the Arctic
  - part of squids
  - seafood
  - software
  - super conducting devices that are extremely sensitive to the tiniest magnetic fields
* are the first passive mob to spawn at any light level, in water, and without grass
  - most active group of molluscs
  - the group of mollusks called cephalopods, which include octopi, cuttlefish, etc
* breathe using their gills.
* can cruise along at constant speeds or dart about in quick jerky movements
  - have between seven and eighteen tentacles, seemingly determined at random
  - swim in whatever direction they want except straight upwards
* catch fish
* could have impact
  - large impact
* destroy the young fry of certain food fishes, but they in turn are often eaten by man.
* do battles.
* eat a varied diet depending on the species
  - fishes and shrimps
* force water from the mantle out through the siphon to propel themselves through the water.
* have a head-like structure , with sense organs and brains in the front end
  - horny growth under it's skin to protect itself from predator's teeth
  - among the largest eye size to body size ratio in the entire animal kingdom
* have an amazing ability to change their colour
  - endoskeleton, an internal supporting, strong structure of Calcium salts
  - enormous eyes
  - extra armature-hooks on the sucker rings
  - kidneys
  - some of the largest eyes, in proportion to their body, in the animal kingdom
* have ten arms, two of which are called tentacles
  - limbs, only two of which are appropriately called tentacles
  - their babies laid in jellied clusters on rocks
  - cytoplasm
  - faces
  - the open oceans
  - throughout the world, except in arctic waters
* may have ability.
* often mate in large groups, and attach their egg capsules to the ocean floor or to seaweed.
* possess a stiff structure known as a pen, that acts as a flexible backbone
* suffocate if they are beached on land for too long.
* swim by drawing water into their mantle cavity and expelling it through their siphon.
* typically demonstrate considerable plasticity in individual growth rates.
  - fins located on their heads to propel themselves when swimming at low speeds
  - jet propulsion to attain great speeds when chasing prey or fleeing from predators
* use their large eyes to spot prey in the murky depths
  - tentacles to catch other animals
  - two specialized tentacles to quickly reach out and capture fishes
* usually live from three to five years
  - spawn in groups
+ Squid, Characteristics: Cephalopods :: Mimicry
  * Like other cephalopoda, squid are intelligent animals. Squids have a head-like structure, with sense organs and brains in the front end. Although the squids lack exterior shells they have a vestigial shell inside, made of chitin.
