Treesquid are one of the stranger, but more common, of the new species in this area. Originally spotted far north of Arizona Bay, in the temperate forests of Old Cascadia. Treesquid are known for their eight grasping arms and two extremely strong tentacles tipped with a hooked climbing claw, made of a material similar to their beaks. These quick, nimble creatures swing from branch to branch and leap from tree to tree in the forests, eating small birds, rodents, and pretty much anything else they can catch. A common tactic is to track prey for several miles and then drop on their head or some other exposed weak point when they stop to rest. When it is unable to strike from stealth, treesquid use the suckers on their arms, and the climbing claws on each tentacle to inflict wounds. Treesquid are not usually dangerous to people, though small children have been attacked in the past. Instinct: to hunt prey
