Behavior
Squids swim around in water, moving their tentacles in and out. They always move in the direction in which their head is pointing.
If on land, squids always move in one direction, seemingly ignoring where the nearest water source is. They move noticeably slower, however in the same way, moving their tentacles. They cannot move up blocks, not even slabs or stairs.
