Beast Squid
Length: 60 feet (?)
Tentacles Length: Not Available
Mass: Not Available
Swimming Speed: Fast
Powers:
- Tentacles: Like its smaller brethren, the Beast Squid is armed with numerous tentacles that it can use to ensnare prey. Two tentacles are much longer than the others and tipped with sickle-shaped claws, allowing it to rip into its victims.
Weaknesses: None
First Appearance: The Beast (1996)
Human Kills: 12
Fight Record: None
Home World: Earth
Origin: Pacific Ocean
Type: Natural
History: An apex predator and largest of its kind, a gigantic squid and its offspring made a new home off the coast of a small fishing community. When people began to go missing and all evidence pointed to the arrival of a colossal squid, a hunting team was put together. However, the ruthless fishermen killed the wrong animal. Towing it to shore, the carcass was denied to those that had evidence of the killer’s astonishing size. When a small submersible was investigating the area where the squid was killed, its much larger parent attack. Crushing the vessel with tremendous tentacles and its sharp beak, the adult made a meal out of the three men trapped inside.
Now with video evidence of the true monster that roamed the waters, a second hunting party was arranged. However, in the cover of night, the beast sunk the boat and killed all but one of the men. Left wounded and hospitalized, the duty of killing the creature finally fell into the hands of those that had originally warned of its existence. Armed with spear guns, they sought to bring an end to the nightmare.
When night came, the squid attacked. It was hit by two spears, but the tips weren’t filled with cyanide as planned, but instead tranquilizer! Having hoped to keep the monster squid alive for his aquarium in Texas, Osborne Manning was forced to reveal the truth as the boat, towing its thought to be dead body, broke down in the middle of the water. With the engines dead, the squid suddenly awoke. It attacked, killing all but Whip Dalton Kathryn Marcus. As it began to sink the boat, a coastguard helicopter arrived to save the distressed crew.
Fighting against its swinging tentacles with an axe, Whip broke open several barrels of fuel and flooded the deck. As he climbed into the helicopter, Kathryn fired a flare gun onto the fuel-doused deck. The fuel instantly ignited, blowing the monster squid to bits in a titanic explosion.
