*Humans:* Squids looks like aliens.

*Squid:* "One time, some aliens in space suits came down from above and examined me! I swear!"

"The squid seems calm"
The squid: ❗❕❗❕❗❕❗❕❗

[ssfbob]

"Here's that crushing beak."

"Yeah, let me show you how it works."

This creatures are never alone. If suddenly 20 come out of the darkness, you don't stand a chance anymore. Then it goes down

[nope]

*squid literally starts flashing red* "even though the squid seems calm...."

[browngirlinaclownworld]

"That really is a sea monster if ever I saw one"
Squid is thinking the same thing.

[geimuvr]

Going from "agh, it bit me!" to "that is the most beautiful creature i've ever seen" in nearly the same breath is just so British.

“Wow, a Humbolt Squid!” Diver

“Wow, breakfast!” The Humbolt

[actionfeen]

squid: *almost rips his arm off*
diver: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[Gormfeld]

Diver: "This squid seems calm."

Squid: *angrily flashing red*

These guys have balls of steel. Swimming that deep, in the dark, with giant, predatory, and probably hungry squid swimming around is a whole new level of courage

"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"

[LifewithMarionM]

"You've gotta be careful when it comes to these creatures "

Its not like I'm gonna travel all the way down there just to find it....

The fact that he's in the ocean and everything is pitch black is scary.

For being a wild squid it is really quite tolerant and gentle. If it wanted to bite, he'd have been quite a bit more in pain I'd think. And at no point did the squid ink or try to rush them. Really beautiful.

[Sb_Antimony]

the fact that there are no other dicernable humbolt's within sight is giving me so much anxiety since they hunt in the thousand's

[Slappap]

*ANGERLY STROBES COLORS*
"It may look calm"

[merzarino]

I watched this video muted and it just looks like two dudes harrassing a squid

[WayneBristol]

"Even though this squid seems calm..."

It doesn't seem calm to me. It seems clearly agitated lol

[ThatWasAllme]

"It's really pinching my arm!". Continues to harass the squid.
