Description

This is the Massacre Squid. Known amongst Rahtourior-speakers as hyutäŋ'sfädracil, amongst Galrantior-speakers as sanʃmùrla giuelä, and amongst Rekualn-speakers as taniksambelitelide-minjgamam.

Extensively descended from the insentient remnants of the peaceful Emperor Squid, the Massacre Squid is fast and lethal.

It can screech underwater with a sound that will cause your ears to bleed violently, which will then attract it as well as other predators. It will then swim toward you in a swift pace and quickly tear any predators to shreds, then it will mercilessly kill you. This massive killing phenomenon is what gives the Massacre Squid its colloquial name.

It is said to have evolved from the Emperor Squid's insentient remnants after the Eelworm went extinct, approximately twenty billion years after the Mass Invertebrate Extinction in Rahtouri. Ironically, it is the exact opposite of the Emperor Squid in terms of behavior and morality.

Ancient tribes which have a knowledge of the Emperor Squid's previous existence describe the Massacre Squid as "speciating to exact revenge for its evolutionary predecessors".

Its loud screech seems to only affect vertebrates, making it seem like vertebrates are their preferred form of prey; ironically, this is the same sentiment the Emperor Squids felt towards the vertebrates, calling them by the Krozzin slur "Eterekihaebilo", which translates to "bonedback". In respect to the former statement being said, however, several vertebrates have become adapted to the screeching, allowing them to swim away before they are spotted and killed.

The Massacre Squid does not look entirely like a squid for a specific reason: adaptation. Every spike you see, every so-called "tooth" (if you look behind the six "teeth" in its mouth, you'll see a beak) was adapted specifically for killing its prey. Its pointy "tail", which can also be used as a spike, also contains the organ squids and octopi are particularly famous for: the "inking gland". Adapted purely as a precautionary measure, the Massacre Squid will use this tool if it is threatened to the point of being short of victory.

It is part of a genus that shares many similarities with Mesonychoteuthis, the same genus in which the legendary colossal squid is a part of.
