Shocker Squids are a species of large cephalopods that appear in the tabletop game Kong: Skull Island Cinematic Adventure.
Design[]
Appearance[]
Shocker Squids are large cephalopods with missile-shaped mantles and eight long tentacles, with two of the tentacles ending in thick flattened shocker pads. The squids can glow various different colors and change patterns, but mostly take on a "ghostly blue" coloration. They display darker colors on their top sides and lighter colors on their undersides.
Personality[]
Shocker Squids are carnivorous and feed on prey both larger and smaller than themselves. They spend most of their time in groups, but can also be found alone, separated from their school. The aggression level of Shocker Squids varies between individuals, with some reported as "friendly", while others will attack divers on sight.
Origins[]
Shocker Squids are believed by Monarch to share ancestry with Humboldt squids.
History[]
Kong: Skull Island Cinematic Adventure[]
Shocker Squids will appear in Kong: Skull Island Cinematic Adventure.
Abilities[]
Aquatic nature[]
As cephalopods, Shocker Squids are aquatic by nature and propel themselves through the water by siphoning water through their mantles.
Bioluminescence[]
Shocker Squids are able to glow a ghostly blue due to their bioluminescence.
Electrogenic pulse[]
Shocker Squids are equipped with two flat tentacles that function as shock pads, and can discharge an electric pulse up to 700 volts. This attack can stun larger prey, and outright killer smaller prey.
Trivia[]
- Monarch does not consider the Shocker Squids to be a superspecies, with the main reason being that they are close relatives of the more "conventional" Humboldt squid.
