Newfag here. Can someone please explain to me why the fuck do these things exist? Why do these things look like they're from hell? Do they fulfill any particular niche other than scaring the living shit out of humans? How the fuck do sperm whales look for this shit to eat without shitting themselves? Genuinely curious.

Its hard to find any sea creature that doesn't contribute significantly to the food chain. I would suggest that perhaps no ecosystem remains as rigidly balanced and defended in scale as that of the oceans.
Also, calamari of course.
Please enjoy this cuttle fish.

Squids are the shit, neck yourself for being such a bitch ass pussy faggot
Squid are ruthless bro. I watched a doco on them. Some guy went swimming with them to get some footage. He wore a mesh suit for protection. One squid swam in front of him and started to illuminate and ripple it's body and then fuckin whammy! Another squid grabbed hus flipper and started to pull him down then they swamped him. He survived.
Another woman in Cali heard squid were around the local beach so she went to swim and look for them. She didn't survive.
Tl;dr squid are hard as fuck

I heard squids take melon baller sized bites out of swimmers with their mighty beaks. They are delicious and terrifying.

There was a greentext about a diver anon who watched humboldt squid kill his diving buddy. Wish I could find it now.

Squids are cool as fuck. I was elated as a small child when I learned that seamonsters like the Kraken actually exist. Imagine what it would be like to tell a kid that somebody just got a photograph of a legit living dinosaur, that was me as a kid.
