The Colossal Squid is a tier 10 animal. It is based on its real life counterpart, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni.

Mechanics[]

  • Humboldt squid can evolve into Colossal Squids
    • 48,000 XP is required for a Humboldt squid to evolve into a colossal squid.
  • Colossal Squids do not evolve into any other animals, as they are a Tier 10.
  • As a colossal squid, friendly fire is turned on for all tier 1 animals: meaning that you cannot damage them neither can you be damaged by them.
