Sea Squid are vampiric squid-like creatures native to Aqua Magna. They were bred by Barraki Kalmah and used as weapons in the Barraki's undersea armies.
History
The Sea Squid was a creature native to the ocean of Spherus Magna prior to The Shattering and afterwards continued to thrive on the newly formed planet of Aqua Magna.[1]
1,000 years ago, when the Barraki set up their underwater kingdoms and recruited armies of sea creatures, Kalmah discovered the Sea Squid in the cave later referred to as the Octo Cave. Kalmah took it upon himself to breed the creatures in this cave, later forbidding others, including the other Barraki, to enter since Mantax once ate half the brood.[2] Kalmah treated them harshly and turned them into vicious killing beasts. He accomplished this by starving his squid more than others, making them more effective killers. He then created the Squid Launchers as a means to use the Sea Squid as weapons, and distributed them to the other Barraki. Sea Squid were used by the Barraki in mass numbers against the giant Venom Eel[1] and as scouts by Kalmah.[3]
When the Barraki were rounded up and imprisoned in the Pit by Hydraxon, the Sea Squid were abandoned in the Black Waters.
Abilities and Traits
Sea Squid[4] feed by draining the life force from a being through the suckers on their tentacles and transferring the energy into themselves. They are fast and ruthlessly efficient, therefore they are able to prey on beings much larger than themselves. They reproduce by laying eggs.[2]
Despite living and breeding in mutagenic waters, Sea Squid are not immune to the mutagen. Pit Mutagen causes internal damage to their DNA which will not become apparent until generations to come.[5]
Sea Squid were used by the Barraki and several other beings in the water surrounding the Pit as weapons.
Trivia
- Sea Squid are known to be unappetizing.[6]
- Matoran would classify Sea Squid as Rahi, even though they are not.[7]
