Drops
Blood Squid drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Crimson air-swimmers summoned by the dreadnautilus
The Blood Squid is a vicious minion manifested by the Dreadnautilus during Blood Moon fishing encounters. Possessing 750 health and 16 defense, this crimson cephalopod propels itself through both water and air, dealing 60 contact damage in Classic, 120 in Expert, and 180 in Master mode while squirting streams of blood.
Prioritizing minion clearance during dreadnautilus charges
During the Dreadnautilus battle, the boss curls into a protective shell and spawns up to three Blood Squids to harass the player. Because they shoot blood projectiles and charge aggressively, eliminating them quickly with piercing spells or piercing arrows is essential before the boss resumes its charges. Doing so keeps the airspace open for dodging.
Trivia
- Blood Squids swim through open air with the exact same physics as swimming through water.
- They can drop the Dreadnautilus banner upon reaching their defeat quota.
