An aquatic cephalopod mollusc with ten tentacles known for its abilities at camouflage, accomplished using special skin cells called chromatophores, and producing ink clouds. There are a large number of kinds spread across the oceans of the globe. The largest type, the Colossal Squid, can grow to upwards of 64 ft in length from the tip of the caudal fin the the end of the two longer tentacles.
