A sleek violet torpedo, this squid is cut by black ink-blade chevrons whose trailing edges glow orchid. Two huge swept arrowhead fins with glowing edges sit at its rear, and glowing sucker rows run down its arms to the tentacle clubs. It hunts the floor of the Moonglow Reef, leaving bubble trails, and surges away in bursts on the line.

How to catch it
Section titled “How to catch it”- Look for rising bubbles: they mark a hotspot where Inkblade Squid and its kind bite more often.
- The weather doesn’t change how often it bites.
- When it fights back it mostly runs to the side. Slow your reeling down without stopping, then reel it in while it rests.
