The '''glow squid''' is a variant of [[squid]] found in dark underwater areas, typically in [[ocean]] depths, ravines and underground lakes. It has an aqua luminescent texture. The mob originates from ''[[Minecraft Earth]]''.

==Spawning==
{{IN|Java}}, schools of 2 to 4 glow squid spawn in water in complete darkness in the [[Overworld]] (except deep dark biome) below [[Altitude|layer]] 30. Unlike most other aquatic mobs, they require no water or waterlogged blocks above or below their spawning space. 

{{IN|Bedrock}}, glow squid spawn anywhere where there is water underground, in schools of 2 to 4 (below a solid roof categorized as cave spawn, while squids are surface spawns) anywhere below Y=30. Glow squid have a 5% chance of spawning as babies.

==Drops==
* 1 to 3 {{ItemLink|glow ink sac}}s. The maximum amount is increased by one per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1 to 6 with Looting III.
* {{xp|1|3}} [[experience]] points when killed by a [[player]] or tamed [[wolf]]. 
* As with all other baby animals, killing a baby glow squid from ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'' yields no items or experience.

==Behavior==
[[File:Glow Squid Shooting Ink.png|thumb|left|The turquoise ink cloud produced by a glow squid.]]
Glow squid wander around aimlessly in three dimensions as long as they are in the water, opening and closing their tentacles, which gives them the appearance of pushing themselves leisurely forward.

Glow squid suffocate when out of water, dying after {{convert|15|second|game tick}}. While on land, they remain stationary until they suffocate. They can take fall damage and [[burn]] like any other land mob, but they cannot drown. When out of the water, glow squid are resistant to [[knockback]].

Glow squid are [[passive]] toward the player. They are not attracted to light and do not deliberately interact with the player. Glow squid sometimes beach themselves and suffocate on the banks of rivers and occasionally on ocean beaches. These behaviors are shared with traditional squid.

Glow squid appear to glow, but do not produce light. They stop glowing for {{convert|5|second|game tick}} when harmed.

Glow squid cannot swim in [[lava]], even if inflicted with {{EffectLink|Fire Resistance}}. They simply pass through the lava and behave as if on land.

Unlike land-based mobs, glow squid can swim against a current and not get pushed by it.‌{{only|java}}

[[Guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s attack glow squid in the same manner as they attack a player or regular squid. [[Axolotl]]s also attack glow squid.

Because glow squid are [[aquatic mob]]s, they are affected by the [[Impaling]] enchantment.{{only|java}}{{until|Java Combat Tests}}

Glow squid constantly produce crystalline particles around them. When attacked, they emit a cloud of turquoise ink particles and swim away. The particles and the ink remain remain visible when the glow squid has the {{EffectLink|Invisibility}} status effect.

If the player is in [[Spectator]] mode or is far away from glow squid (often when they are in unloaded [[chunk]]s), they remain stationary. When attacked in this state, glow squid cannot flee.

Although glow squid have a baby variant in {{el|be}}, there is no way to breed adult glow squid.
