A '''squid''' is 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 species spread across the oceans of the globe. The largest type, the [[Colossal Squid]], can grow to upwards of 46 feet in length from the tip of the caudal fin the the end of the two longer tentacles, while a number of species are only a few inches in length.  Squid are distantly related to [[Octopus]] and [[Cuttlefish]] as all are cephalopods.

Squid, though short-lived, are highly intelligent. Most are active [[predator]]s. Squids are also fairly common in [[mythology]], in which [[giant squid]] known as "[[kraken]]" sink ships at sea.
