These free-swimming mollusks are fairly aggressive. They are more [[SRD:Fear|fear]]ed than sharks in some locales.
===Combat===
'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a squid must hit an opponent of any size with its arms attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]], it establishes a hold and automatically deals bite damage. *A squid has a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]]s.

'''Ink Cloud ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A squid can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 10 feet high by 10 feet wide by 10 feet long once per minute as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]]. The cloud provides total [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]], which the squid normally uses to escape a losing fight. All vision within the cloud is obscured.  

'''Jet ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A squid can jet backward once per [[SRD:Round|round]] as a [[SRD:Full-Round Actions|full-round action]], at a speed of 240 feet. It must move in a straight line, but does not provoke [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]] while jetting.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' A squid has a +8 racial bonus on any [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
