Sea Squid are Organic Rahi bred by the Barraki Kalmah. They feed by sucking the life force from a being and transferring the energy into themselves. Sea Squid were used by the Barraki and several other beings in the water surrounding The Pit as weapons.

[carve] History

When the Barraki set up their underwater kingdoms and recruited armies of sea creatures, Kalmah's attention was drawn to the life-draining Sea Squids. Kalmah bred the creatures in a location known as the Octo Cave, forbidden to the other Barraki ever since Mantax ate half the brood. After hatching from their white eggs, Kalmah treated them harshly and turned them into vicious killing beasts (Kalmah starved his squids more than others, making them more effective killers). He then created the Squid Launchers as a means to use the Sea Squids as weapons, and distributed them to the other Barraki. Sea Squids have been used by the Barraki in mass numbers against the giant Venom Eel, and as scouts by Kalmah.

A Gadunka mutated by the Kanohi Ignika found a Squid Launcher and learned to use it by watching the Barraki.

[carve] Set Information

Sea Squids were featured in various 2007 sets in the form of soft, stretchy translucent parts. A Sea Squid could be launched from the soft plastic Squid Launcher piece by mounting the squid's head in the front of the launcher while pulling back the tail as demonstrated in the instructions or on an instructional video on BIONICLE.com

Two yellow-orange Sea Squids were packaged in each Barraki, Karzahni, Nocturn, and Gadunka set. Three were featured in the Barraki Deapsea Patrol and Toa Undersea Attack playsets and five in the Toa Terrain Crawler. Excluding the Toa Terrain Crawler and Toa Undersea Attack playsets, each of the above sets featured a Squid Launcher and a pair of clips on which the Sea Squids could be mounted. Seven extra blue-green Sea Squids could be bought in the "Squid Ammo" pack released in 2007. These squids were colored in various blends of blue and green.

A pair of life-size "Splashy Barraki Squids" (one red, one green) were released together in 2007. These were permeable foam balls that were intended to be soaked with water and thrown as a pool toy. The cloth surface and tail of each squid was printed with a face, the Barraki logo, and the insignias of various Barraki.

[carve] Trivia

• In some European countries, the Sea Squids are labeled as "Polyps."
