The '''squid kid''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in {{Dragon Quest VIII}} as the infant form of the [[King squid]].

==Characteristics==
Squid kids are infantile [[king squid]]s with a smiling faces and squid kids are like [[khalamari kid]]s but blue. They have a dark blue mantle and fins while the rest of their body and tentacles are a light shade of blue. In their left tentacles they weld a pink and spike seashell like a club, but they spend just as much time doodling in the sand instead of using them as weapons. The squids know how to dance an infectious jig and try to get adventurers to get into the groove with them in battle.

The '''squid kid''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in {{Dragon Quest VIII}} as the infant form of the [[King squid]].

==Characteristics==
Squid kids are infantile [[king squid]]s with smiling a faces and squid kids dar like [[khalamari kid]]s but blue. They have a dark blue mantle and fins while the rest of their body and tentacles are a light shade of blue. In their left tentacles, they wield a pink
seashell like a club, but spend just as much time doodling in the sand instead of using them as weapons. The squids know how to dance an infectious jig and try to get adventurers to get into the groove with them in battle.
