Nature Wants to Eat You

The giant squid gets a lot of press, but here’s the animal that would really make me soil myself: the Humboldt squid. They grow up to 2m in length, each of their suckers has a hook in it, and they’re famously aggressive. If they can beat the crap out of a Special Ops veteran, you’re probably going to be in trouble.

Between the tentacles is a beak, like that of a parrot. It’s extremely hard and sharp - great for ripping into flesh.

Feel free to shout the obligatory “RELEASE THE KRAKEN” in between the screaming.
