A Squid with an Internet Connection

The Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) is a large marine invertebrate that blogs about many different fandoms, including but not limited to: The Avengers, The Dark Knight saga, XMFC, superheroes in general, A Song of Ice and Fire, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Gravity Falls, Disney/Pixar, Pokémon, Phineas and Ferb, Friends, A:TLA, Merlin, Inception, et cetera. She studies theatre and paleontology and blogs a lot about those things too. Her blog is not recommended for arachnophobes, ophidiophobes, or anyone who is particularly afraid of any kind of animal, because whatever that animal is, the Humboldt squid is guaranteed to find it adorable and post entirely too many pictures of it.

”The Hawaiian creation myth relates that the present cosmos is only the last of a series, having arisen in stages from the wreck of the previous universe. In this account, the octopus is the lone survivor of the previous, alien universe”, - Dixon, Roland Burrage (1916). The Mythology of All Races: Oceanic 9. Marshall Jones. p. 15.

They reach maturity in under two years, can swim at 25 kms/hr and can coordinate attacks. They’re also incredibly curious, but their first reaction to anything unusual in their environment is to try and kill it.

Ahem.

Dear Sir/Madam “did-you-kno”,

Kindly pursue your research further before making spurious comments about my eating habits. Your “source” is a cryptozoology site reporting a story from a notorious tabloid—which, of course, cites no source at all. It refers to Doscidus gigas as “giant squid”, which we are not, and their description of our anatomy is entirely inaccurate. There have been no verified claims of any member of my species eating a human, nor is there any logical reason why we might attempt to do so—we eat krill and small fish. The original story comes from a commercial diver-cum-filmmaker with no academic qualifications. His website, consisting largely of unsubstantiated accounts of his own derring-do, is nothing more than sensationalist drivel that would make Peter Benchley blush. The evidence he offers in support for the veracity of the fishermen’s tales amounts to, and I quote, “These stories were true and I knew it.” He also purports to be a counter-terrorism operative in advertisements for waterproof timepieces.

Good day to you, sir/madam.
