The Squidzilla is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Squidzillas are giant squid monsters with teal-coloured bodies with yellow-green tinges on its head, as well as the suckers on its many tentacles. They are more aggressive than their blue cousins, being able to attack twice per turn, and can usually be found in the colder waters of the ocean. In Dragon Quest III, they are the strongest monsters that can be faced in the ocean and are a forced to be reckoned with, especially if several appear in the same battle. Their monster description in Dragon Quest X describes them as "sea demons" whose purpose in life is to sink ships.
