Squid

Squids are passive mobs, and live in the water. When killed, they drop 1-3 ink sacs and 1-3 Experience Orbs.

Spawn[]

Squids can only spawn in water and at any light level.

Behavior[]

Squids will aimlessly swim around, with an animation showing their tentacles opening and closing, to show swimming. Squids are not attracted to light, and will not interact with the player at all. If attacked, a squid will attempt to swim away.
