The '''King squid''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is a large aggressive squid that terrorises seafaring adventurers.
==Characteristics==
King squids are enormous [[Aquatic family|squids]] with light blue bodies and darker blue tinges on its head, mantle, and the suckers on its many tentacles. In the {{Super Famicom}} version of {{III}}, the squids' bodies are more purple with a darker shade of blue on their heads and mantles. This color scheme is used in its first two appearances in the {{Monsters}} series, as well as the 2D version of {{XI}}. They are among the most dangerous monsters that can be encountered on the high seas, particularly if multiple are encountered in the same battle. The squids possess high attack power and often have the ability to attack twice per turn. Instant death spells often work as an effective strategy to counteract their high HP pools. In {{VIII}}, [[Squid kid]]s began appearing as their infant forms.
In ''XI'', King squids have grown to truly colossal proportions to match those of its fellow squid [[Khalamari]] and are aided by their left and right tentacles in battle. Its tentacles attack on their own and can shield its main body from harm.

After the appearance of the [[Black Citadel]], a King squid can be encountered in the middle of [[Baccarat]], terrorizing a group of mercenaries in the service of [[Cash]] and [[Carrie]]. The {{Party 8}} can choose to defeat it and earn their gratitude. It poses no significant threat and its main difference from an ordinary King squid is its large HP pool. After it is defeated, the mercenaries offer to pay off the party with 200 [[token]]s for the [[casino]] in exchange for not informing Cash and Carrie about the incident. If the {{Hero 8}} refuses their offer once, they will increase the reward to 400 tokens.

King squids began appearing in Version 3.4 of the game. They are able to perform a barrage attack with their tentacles and spit out ink to envelop characters in illusions. Unlike other games, the king squids are no longer vulnerable to Whack spells.

{{Stub}}
In the 3D mode of the game, king squids are aided by their left and right tentacles, which will act independently either attacking one character at a time, lashing out and damaging the entire {{Party 11}}, or shielding the squid from damage. The battle will end if the main body is defeated before its tentacles. In the 2D modes of the {{3DS}} version and the {{Definitive Edition}} of the game, king squids will be aided by a pair of [[Squid kid]]s instead.

King squid appears as a B-rank {{MFamilies}} of the [[Nature family]] as part of the ''True Dragon Quest III'' event. It can be recruited from the [[Pirates' Den]] stage of "Awaken, Ramia!" at any difficulty, eventually being recruitable from Part 4 of the main storyline from Chapter 7, Episode 3: To the Top Floor 1. It can also be recruited from Chapter 1, Episode 4 of the limited ''Hijinks on the High Seas'' event. The king squid can participate in the Battle Roads of [[Ramia]], the [[Old flame]], and [[Captain Platypunk]] as a party member.
