The '''squid''' (イカ, ''Ika'') is a saltwater [[fish]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{DnMe+}}. Despite being known as a fish in the {{SER|nolink}}, the squid is a type of mollusk, similar to (but not directly related to) the [[Octopus (creature)|octopus]]. It appears as a medium shadow (small in {{WW|short}}) in the [[sea]] all day long in every season outside of [[fall]].

The exact type of squid in the {{SER}} is not known but judging by the {{CF|short}}{{'}}s description, it may be a ''European 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==
 +
*In {{NH}}, the squid's tank when placed as furniture bears an icon that resembles an [[inkipedia:Inkling|Inkling]].
 +
**Additionally, two of its catch quotes are a reference to Inklings and [[inkipedia:Off the Hook|Off 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 in {{DnMe+}} and one in {{NH|nolink}} refer to [[mariowiki:Blooper|Bloopers]].
 +
*The {{I|Fish-Drying Rack|NH}} can be customized to feature Squid in {{NH|nolink}}.

The squid (イカ, Ika) is a saltwater fish in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Doubutsu no Mori e+. Despite being known as a fish in the Animal Crossing series, the squid is a type of mollusk, similar to (but not directly related to) the octopus. It appears as a medium shadow (small in Wild World) in the sea all day long in every season outside of fall.

Donating to the museum[edit]

Squid can be donated to the museum: when given to Blathers, he will briefly talk.

In Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]


In Wild World[edit]

"Octopus and squid both have ink, and I've seen squid ink in recipes quite often... Strangely, however, I've never heard of a dish that uses octupus ink! I suppose it's partially due to the fact that octopi produce very little ink... What ink they DO make is watery and ill-suited for cooking, as well... That said, I've heard that the flavor is not at all repugnant, eh wot? Perhaps an octopus-ink pasta wouldn't be bad..."

After being given to the museum, the squid will appear in the sea tank of the aquarium, propelling itself around towards the back.

In City Folk[edit]

"The creature we know as the squid comes in a variety of shapes...and indeed, sizes! Some reports tell of squid measuring in excess of 120 inches in length! At that size, it's no wonder you see them in sci-fi cinema. They DO seem bit like aliens, eh wot?"

In New Leaf[edit]

The information board in front of the tank that houses the squid says the following:

"People assume squids have legs, but those are actually arms. There are 10 in all; two are used to grab prey. To swim, they twist their fins and expel water from inside their bodies to allow for fluid motion. The ink they shoot when threatened forms into the shape of a squid, acting as a sort of body double."

In New Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"Well, first off, squids are members of the mollusk family, just like the octopus. Many mollusks like snails and clams have shells, but the squid's body is almost completely soft. The exception is a long, narrow bit of hard material going through its main body-the last remnant of its shell. Of course, having your shell INSIDE is not a best practice. Perhaps they lost the owner's manual!"

Fishing Tourney[edit]

During a Fishing Tourney, when given a squid, Chip will say the following dialogue.

In City Folk[edit]

"I like chopping up squid for little bouncy, floaty bits in my noodle salads! Num! Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

In New Leaf[edit]

"A great thing to try with a squid is drying it overnight. Delicious, even with all those tentacles and suckers! Not that I have the patience to wait that long, of course. I'm getting the urge to snack! YUM!"

Real-world information[edit]

The exact type of squid in the Animal Crossing series is not known but judging by the City Folk's description, it may be a European 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]

  • In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the squid's tank when placed as furniture bears an icon that resembles an Inkling.
    • Additionally, two of its catch quotes are a reference to Inklings and Off 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 in Doubutsu no Mori e+ and one in Animal Crossing: New Horizons refer to Bloopers.
  • The Fish-Drying Rack can be customized to feature Squid in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
