With a big mantle (the bit joining the arms together) and a lot of powerful muscles, you can shoot around the place with jet propulsion at speeds of up to 15mph, almost as fast as the average human can sprint.

This isn’t enough to catch big fish, but it’s easily enough to catch small fish, crustaceans, and … smaller squid, which are one of your favourite foods.

You are found in a wide range of sizes, from the width of a finger to a body the size of a human, plus arms and tentacles reaching over the length of a city bus.
