A huge sea monster in the shape of a cuttlefish.

Giant cuttlefish are the giant animal counterparts of the standard cuttlefish, over four times heavier than the average dwarf. They are aquatic creatures that will rarely interact with land-dwelling dwarves, however they may squirt ink if threatened.

Despite their size, they apparently retain the ability to be cooked live, assuming your dwarves can find a pot large enough. This may, however, produce significantly less food than a properly-butchered specimen. Because of their internal shell-like structure, giant cuttlefish produce both chitin and raw hide when butchered.

Some dwarves enjoy giant cuttlefish for their ability to change color and their distinctive pupils.

They have enough ink to flood a factory.
