Real-world information[edit]

The exact type of squid in theAnimal Crossing series is not known but judging by theCity Folk's description, it may be aEuropean squid which is white with two long arms. The family name, 'Loliginidae' is commonly referred to as the inshore, calamari, and grass squid. Squids eat small plants, insects and small animals that float on the surface of the ocean.

Trivia[edit]

• InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, the squid's tank when placed as furniture bears an icon that resembles anInkling.
  • Additionally, two of its catch quotes are a reference to Inklings andOff the Hook. The usage of "inkling" doubles as a pun, referring to the word's main meaning, "a slight knowledge or vague notion."
• The catch quote inDoubutsu no Mori e+ and one inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons refer toBloopers.
• TheFish-Drying Rack can be customized to feature Squid inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons.
