I heard a story about these deep sea night divers that were on a boat, and they got to the part of the open water where they wanted to dive. Well of 1 of the brothers told the other brother “ idk if I’m trippen because I’m tired but I think I saw some strobe lights like someone is having an underwater party” so not thinking anything of it they hopped in and before they knew it. They felt all these arms pulling them down so on the verge of shiting themselves they finally realized it was these squids trying to bite them. This stuff is crazy but I love watching videos like this!!!!

[@ayaan5540]

I doubt 3 inch squids could do much harm though

[@NIGHTBLOODUSAGI]

​@@ayaan5540 it was alot of squids so maybe, alot of tiny animals group together to be more of a threat when hunting

[@K.Spade7902]

Funny story!

basically a glow squid in real life but with a bit of differences

[@catsdogswoof3968]

theres multible glow squid and stone and berries in animal crossig

[@K.Spade7902]

Can you imagine having 3 or 4 in a small fish tank? That would be cool watching them glow at night.

[@catsdogswoof3968]

also evil

[@frenzii8332]

​@@catsdogswoof3968definitely not evil. If the owner is responsible and knows what to do they get a life with no predators.

God liked the glow squid from Minecraft so much he added it to the world

This was fascinating, thank you

[@toxicholygrenadethg9906]

Fun fact, I created a fan-made OC (a group of them especially) for the SMG4 series who happens to be a Firefly Inkling (Firefly Squid), and her name is Spectra Lumiere, who would later turn into a Metahuman, in a similar way with Meggy Spletzer becoming just a Human. Spectra, especially as a Metahuman, would wear a snapback cap, which she also sometimes wears backwards, a tank-top (black), dolphin shorts (blue with white rimbs and slits), ear piercings, and blue LED sneakers (white). Her hair would be black and short, with a buzzcut at one of the sides. Her voice would be reminiscent to Rainbow Dash from MLP, being raspy and somewhat boyish. And yes, she is definitely a tomboy. XD
Spectra's Personality:
Loves sports like Meggy Spletzer does, but where the real deal comes into play, is her love for shuffle dancing and singing.
While Spectra complies with rules and laws, she would bend/break them if only they get in the way of achieving a greater good and making a beneficial difference. (Neutral Good)
She is Razor's love interest. (Razor is a Vampire Inkling)
She is cheerful, confident, polite, level-headed, lively, somewhat energetic, and motivational.
