==Characteristics==

Line 16:

They are among the most dangerous {{MFamilies}}s that can be encountered on the high seas, particularly if multiple are encountered in the same battle. The squids possess high attack power and often have the ability to attack twice per turn. Instant death spells often work as an effective strategy to counteract their high {{HP}} pools. In {{VIII}}, [[Squid kid]]s began appearing as their infant forms.

In {{XI}}, ~~King~~ squids have grown to truly colossal proportions to match those of its fellow squid [[Khalamari]] and are aided by their left and right tentacles in battle. Its tentacles attack on their own and can shield its main body from harm.

After the appearance of the [[Black Citadel]], a ~~King~~ squid can be encountered in the middle of [[Baccarat]], terrorizing a group of mercenaries in the service of [[Cash]] and [[Carrie]]. The {{Party 8}} can choose to defeat it and earn their gratitude.

After the appearance of the [[Black Citadel]], a king squid can be encountered in the middle of [[Baccarat]], terrorizing a group of mercenaries in the service of [[Cash]] and [[Carrie]]. The {{Party 8}} can choose to defeat it and earn their gratitude.

It poses no significant threat and its main difference from an ordinary King squid is its large {{HP}} pool. After it is defeated, the mercenaries offer to pay off the party with 200 [[token]]s for the [[casino]] in exchange for not informing [[Cash]] and [[Carrie]] about the incident. If the {{Hero 8}} refuses their offer once, they will increase the reward to 400 [[token]]s.

In the 3D mode of the game, ~~King~~ squids are aided by their left and right tentacles, which will act independently either attacking one character at a time, lashing out and damaging the entire {{Party 11}}, or shielding the squid from damage. The battle will end if the main body is defeated before its tentacles. In the 2D modes of the {{3DS}} version and the {{Definitive Edition}} of the game, King squids will be aided by a pair of [[~~Squid~~ kid]]s instead.
