Giant Space Squid

Giant Space Squids are a ravenous species of squid capable of surviving in water, in air, and in the vacuum of space. They are feared throughout the galaxy.

Biology and Appearance

The Giant Space Squid are an amphibious species of squid capable of living in or above the water and even capable of surviving for prolonged periods in the vacuum of space. They may be in some way related to the Old Ones. They have between 8 and 12 tentacles and a digestive system which is capable of digesting almost anything from organic matter to metals and minerals.
Giant Space Squids are hermaphroditic with both members of a mating pair capable of producing offspring after the complex mating process (sometimes lasting years) is complete.

Culture and Society

If giant space squids have a culture or society it has yet to be revealed to the rest of the galaxy.

History

It has been suggested that giant space squids have migrated to other worlds long before those worlds had ventured themselves into space. These creatures formed the basis of a number of maritime legends featuring sea monsters. They are also suggested to be the progenitors of a variety of smaller squid and octopi.

Behind the Scenes
