Squid

Squid are a new passive mob. They were added in the Minecraft beta 1.2 update. Squid drop ink sacks when killed and can be found in water. They spawn on any difficulty and do not attack, similar to the passive mobs found on land.

Behavior
Squid swim around in water, sometimes in groups and stick to the seabed, swimming into sand/dirt on the seabed quite often. Listen for a sound that sounds similar to dirt/sand breaking. They often swim fairly deep, and are difficult to see due to their dark complexion and unless seen from a distance are almost impossible to locate from above. When they move about, their tentacles open and close. This is the easiest thing to watch for in the deeper areas when squid hunting. Squid will not attack you, even when you attack them. Here is the dirt/sand sound they make.

Drops

 * 1-3 ink sacks

Trivia

 * If a sheep touches a squid it will become black (Not Possible)Sheep now sometimes have black wool instead of white. (Discovered by Thebest91238)

The only black sheep I have found are near or around water where the squids are. So it may merit to the myth. Do not have any screen shots as of yet but I will watch for it to happen. (RakkaDaReal)


 * It is impossible to pull a squid onto land with a fishing rod.
